There's something really weird about books that are few stars at the beginning and almost until the end, but when you put the book down, you can't give it any less than 5 stars.

This is one of those books.

It has a very slow start. A very slow middle. And a slow ending. At times, I found it tedious, but I still read on because something kept me turning the pages. despite the lack of action and excitement, it was still exciting. I was still wondering what would happen next. 

I absolutely loved this book. Definitely one of those I wouldn't mind picking up and reading again in a few years and that I am 98% certain I will like just as much the second time.
