Omph. Such a great story. I don’t even know what to write. Hopeful, brutal, sad…

he raised his face to the paling day. are you there? he whispered. will i see you at last? have you a neck by which to throttle you? have you a heart? damn you eternally have you a soul? oh god, he whispered. oh god.

DID NOT FINISH

The lack of punctuation made this text unreadable on an e-reader. I would like to have continued reading, but this was too frustrating of a format.

i avoided this book for years but I finally read it. let this be a warning to you all, its a good book

I listened to this one and I am glad I did. Having the story told to you was amazing. The writing is beautiful and left me thinking about it after I finished with lots of questions, which I enjoy.
