At first when I started reading the book, to be honest I was not much into it, I used to read like 5-10 pages for a day or two, I did not feel like continuing it. But I never leave anything unfinished, so one day I thought of reading some extra pages. It got me hooked....I wanted to finish the whole book that day even, but still I kept it for the next day for the fun of it. I cannot believe that the story would have got me hooked. The book gets emotional, or I guess I'm that sensitive, but leave that for now. It is briliiantly written, the past instances and then again the future instances are potrayed so brilliantly. Hats off to the author. I really recommend this book, it has a lesson in it that we're so focussed in ourselves that we take a lot of people for granted because we know that we are not going to lose them.
