"Found the style of writing very hard to get into at first, but it finally took hold of me and I loved the sad, desolate, but ultimately uplifting story."
"Engrossingly beautiful novel. So sad, but brilliant. Great character development, but the plot still kept moving along nicely. Totally deserves the honour of being a 'modern classic'."
"Overall I really enjoyed this book, but could've done by being shortened slightly. Found the Chalfen family quite annoying, and was starting to get a bit bored by the end."
