This book made me ugly cry

Really enjoyed this book. This hit a lot of my favourite themes: redemption, family, beautiful setting and a complex protagonist. I loved the bond between Cooper and Finch. The book was also varied: hopeful yet tense, reflective yet dramatic. The ending was very powerful and moved me to tears. The story was great and the emotional impact of this book was powerful. The only reason I'm not scoring it higher is because the prose style, whilst straightforward like the protagonist, was neither bad nor outstanding. Overall, excellent read!
