I really enjoyed the book and how it was put together. I’m a big fan of John’s editorial column so I’m not surprised at how good it was. All characters and their stories were sensibly complete by the end of the book. While some of it is very dark, I didn’t walk away feeling disturbed at all. I finished it about 20 hours ago and it’s left me with a warm, satisfying feeling. The narration was well done. I felt like I was cozied up in my living room while being told a story.
