A momentous book! I don't know when I'll get around to reading this again because it's a monster of a book, but I want to read it again and again. The exploration of the this family and the turmoil and triumphs of the brothers was more than I ever could have hoped for. It's detailed and heartbreaking; I was laughing out loud on second and then, by the next chapter, I was on the verge of tears.
