Amazing story! Easily one of my favorites!

I first read this book in middle school and I was hooked almost immediately. I bought this book for myself for my 30th birthday, and to say I loved this book is an understatement. The story plays out in my head like movie, even after so long. The setting is gorgeous, the characters are so unique, and all the details are vivid enough to linger in my mind for over 15 years. I highly recommend this book, to any and all people, especially those who who can watch the story flawlessly unfold in their minds.
