One of the most powerful books I have ever encountered.
Loved it, couldn't put it down all weekend and was thrilled to have Monday off so that I could read more. Fast read, despite the length; unique style; and well worthy of all of the praise it has gotten over the past few years. Touching, emotional, and vivid. Cinematic in its descriptions, so I cannot wait to see the movie. I am very curious to see how they handle Death as the narrator.
