This book destroyed me. I've had it on my TBR for a good ten years, recommended by an old high school acquaintance, and didn't get to it until now. And oh, man.

The pacing, the many buildups and payoffs, the plot that kept me guessing, all of it speaks to masterful writing. What a well-crafted book!
