I've been wanting to read this book for a while, but I was also trying to keep away from it as long as I could. I knew it was depressing and tragic. Well, I'm glad I got it over with. It was indeed depressing and tragic, but it was so beautifully written, and the words will stick with me for a long time.
I read this all today, and honestly, I could have finished it in only a few hours, but I'd actually go for hours without picking my nook back up to read it. I'd read a chapter, and then wait a few hours, then read another chapter. I was dreading the end, and I was evidently delaying the inevitable. Alas, it eventually came, and it gutted me.
