This book was by far the best book I have ever read. As an intellectual, it is difficult to find books of such superiority that it befits my reading level (which is much higher than the average scholar, though I am but in my youth). I was introduced to this book when I was around 7 and it has been my comfort object ever since then. Blaine Ray is truly an artist and I pity anyone who cannot understand the majesty and depth of such a piece.
