This book is one of the coziest and unique books I’ve ever read!! I now better understand why he’s so famous! This book is just fun from start to finish!! The pacing was so different from anything I’ve read before! You could read 5 pages and in that time so much could happen, months could pass or something crazy happens, but you also feel like you read so little? But not in a negative way!

This is my single favorite book. It is perfect.
It is beautifully written, exciting, wonderful. It captures me, mind and spirit, every time I read it. It, more than any other book, unlocked my imagination, my passion for writing and storytelling. It showed me what fiction was capable of, as well as a lot of the why and how of it all.
I love it.
