Reading this was a long long journey, but as I realised, an enjoyable one just the same. I'm even a little sad that it's over and whenever I notice that, I know that is was a 5 star read...

I haven't read something like this before. The narration was brilliant and the story... I'm speechless.
I also cried my heart out at the end, so how couldn't I give this book 5 stars? I'm missing the characters already.
