i adore the way this book is written, yes its very sad and horrible things happen but stuart's writing is something that made me want to not put it down. i got so immerged into mungo's life that i felt like i knew him so well. its just gorgeous, its heavy and awful but so beautiful. im gonna be thinking about this story for a long time.
