I cried more at the end than I did over Never Let Me Go. YMMV.

Metaphors for memory this book is absolutely steeped in. Anymore discussion on memory is gonna kill me. But it was very well done. There are so many angles that the thing is attacked at that you could pick any chapter of the book and have a differing take, which leads to me my other take-
It is very much a sum of it's parts thing, I'd say. Again, I'm not very into fantasy and there is some classic fantasy adventuring here that was actually extremely dull. Lots of sitting around and visiting random villages- Someone in my class said it would have been better as a short story, but I definitely disagree on that.
Like I said before, every chapter has it's important input. It may not be the funnest book to read but once you get to the end it is so so worth it to just piece together your own interpretation with what you've been provided.
So, lots of takes, lots of cool shit you can think about.
