Oh man. This is quite the literary undertaking.
I read a lot. Like, probably to the exclusion of friendships "a lot", and there are few books that feel as engaging as this did. When it started I honestly hated it. It was preachy, and obviously the work of someone who overvalued their own love if the written word...
But by the end... You get to dance with the ghost of someone who truly loves stories. It is rare, it is beautiful, and it is humbling. I honestly have no negative word to say about this work, and that is rare.
