I read this on a road trip from Wisconsin to South Dakota to Wyoming, and it was absolutely perfect. The diverse stories mix and meld into a fantastic read. A few tears were shed for those quick interludes. Shadow is a great main character: he is ready to take on what the world hands him, but towards the end, he wakes up and becomes a force to reckon with.
