The first time I read this book was in 2009, when it first came out. I bought my copy from the Borders (Remember those?) in our local mall! And I loved it. And I was pleasantly surprised to find that I still love it. Reading it as an adult changes a lot, though. I never realized how fucked up the story is. None of the characters are really likable (Save Martin, whom I adore), but the story is full of really incredible twists, so that's okay. The pacing is pretty good, too! Overall, this is definitely one of my favorite books!
