I also enjoyed the relationships between the characters who often changed theirs opinions about themselves. I would have however liked to see a little more from Teresa (the only female character) who remains pretty mysterious and who doesn’t serve much purpose in the book if not to simply help Thomas. She sort of just goes along with whatever Thomas says and never really states her opinion or gives any input which is a little frustrating.
All in all this is however a very good book and I definitely recommend it.

Minor: Blood, Animal death, Child death, Death, Grief, Suicide attempt, Violence, Vomit, Confinement, and Abandonment
