To be honest, I only picked this book up because the cover was beautiful and the title spiked my avid curiosity. After reading the back, I knew I simply had to buy it and read it! And I did, and now I have nothing but praises for this wonderful book. I recommended it to a friend and they recommended it to one of *their* friends, and now my whole friend group has at least read this book once. It makes my heart warm. Anyways, I love love loved the style of writing and the tensions within each page, however small. How morbid and thrilling! I loved this book so much that I even cried. Which believe me is quite rare for me to do! Anyways the plot was so beautiful that I did not think to even take a break, and I finished it whilst totally neglecting my tea, which went stone cold! LOL!! I definitely recommend this masterpiece and will send this review to distant relatives.
