This was a WORK OF ART. I cannot begin to describe what this book did to me. I couldn't put the book down; when I did, it was all I could think about. I found myself re-reading parts of the book and dissecting it in my mind constantly. I think it is perfect to describe this novel as a Love story because that is exactly what it is. It's not a romance or a lovey-dovey type of book. It was like reading a modern version of the Symposium by Plato with Regan and Alto's constant Socratic questioning.  It's a thought-provoking, frustrating, and compelling yet entertaining novel about life and what it can be, both the good and the bad. I've never read anything like this before, and it's definitely become a comfort book of mine.  I cannot praise it enough.
