Shout the news to everyone you see! This is the reaction I had when I read this book. This book changed my life, in a subtle way, yes, but changed it nonetheless. It is a book within a book, a story of a quest, and of realizing adulthood, and dealing with past pain. The book is passionate, and intended for those that have a love affair with literature. I strongly reccomend this wonderful book! I gaurentee it's like nothing you've ever read.
