One of the most beautifully written books I have ever read.  An incredible story about love and friendship that is deep, dark and depressing, but not in a bad way.

The chances of relating to Jude on a personal level are close to none. But the sense of reality with which this book is written, makes it so easy to feel what these characters are feeling and are going through and that's what in my opinion makes this book so good.
