This book is haunting, but in the best way. There wasn't as much action and adventure as I thought / hoped there would be, but the real story truly makes up for it. This is a book I'd recommend to simply anyone who was looking for a good book to read, and hope that they too would learn the same things I did when I read it: kindness and warmth are very powerful, and don't impose your ideas and beliefs on other people unless they ask - ever.
