Reading/Listening to The Subtle Knife for the second time made me love this book even more.
It holds so much depth and raises so many question.
It is truly one of the books I feel everybody should read at some point in their lives.
Loved the rendition of the author as narrator and a full cast for the various voices. Very well done and an absolute joy to listen.
I got my copy from the local library, and am ever so thankful for them for having such wonderful books available.
