What a page turner. I was consistantly on the edge of my seat. I felt like a teenager all over again who fell in love with reading for the first time. It's been a while since i could say that I had a hard time putting a book down and that is thanks to the supsense and cliffhangers that Suzanne put in the very end of each of her chapters. 
The most impressing part of this book besides her ability to bring poetry into so much darkness is the fact that you know what is to come and yet she manages to create disbelief and shock. What a trip this book was and I can't recommend it enough for those who wish to learn to love reading. 
Besides the overuse of songs and a couple of cheap fan service that can be forgiven you can't deny the intelligence in the writing in which the consistant parallel with our world can't be ignored.
