Some of the most beautiful lines I've ever read in a book are in this one. It's beautiful and poetic and makes you want to cling the book to your chest and just reflect before your collect yourself and keep reading.
However...
The last third of the book completely falls on it's face and doesn't recover.
Also it's way too short and I feel as if some things could have been fleshed out better, especially towards that terrible last third.
