Trying to condense this book into a tiny review will be rather difficult for me. This is THE FIRST book I recommend to anyone in any conversation any time literature comes up. By turns this book is one of the most romantic, beautifully written, intellectually stimulating, and downright entertaining books I've ever held in my two hands. For months after I finished the book I would see it sitting on my desk and grow sad thinking of how much I missed time with Sheldon and Davie. Countless times I've found myself trying to emulate things from this book, be it aspects of their relationship to pieces of Sheldon's personality that I found charming. I love this book. Yet, so far this review has been largely unhelpful. In summation this book is about three things: faith, love, and grief. In my opinion, this book is one of the most interesting looks into faith, one of the most poignant commentaries on love, and one of the most moving accounts of grief I've ever read. If this book was focused on only one of these topics I would still love it, but the combination of the three leaves it as a book that is unparalleled in my reading experience. Go read it right now.
