Ok. I was wandring through my library, looking for a book to read. On the shelf, I saw a huge grey book. I'd seen it there before and looked at it, but never actually attempted to read it.
So I pulled it off the shelf, read the back, and thought it sounded decent. So I read it. And couldn't stop reading it. It seemed to get better with each passing chapter. I ended up finishing it about a month later. I'd been reading it since about three, and now it was nearly eleven. I cried continuously through the last 100 pages, because it was so darn beautiful and sad. I couldn't even LOOK at the book for days after without tearing up.
And then I discovered the musical soundtrack, which is amazing.
It's just so well written and absorbing. The characters are great, the plot is amazing and twisty....It's just pure awesome stuffed in a book.
