I loved the ending to this book. I almost threw my kindle across the room when he got sent to war, but it was the best (and probably most realistic) ending I could imagine.
I read the Author's Note at the end and appreciated this quote from Jon Mooallem, "Storytelling matters now. Emotion matters. Our imagination has become an ecological force".

The writing in this book was spectacular. It created a story that one felt like they were apart of. The story itself was slow for me at times which is why it got a 4/5. Overall a good book I would recommend.
