Sitting with my mouth gaping open after finishing this book.
This may well be one of the best books I have ever read. The genius in pacing, shifting perspectives, and delicate relationships was hollowing and created even more emotional stakes for the central story.
The allegories were poignant in so many ways and suddenly you find yourself a part of the audience to the Chain Gangs that you have come to loathe, desperately needing to know the outcomes of each match.
Phenomenal, incredible, holy shit this book!!!
