Throughout this experience, I found myself on the edge of my seat, believing for the characters and doubting their intentions at times. I found myself disappointed (not in the book, but for the main character, sympathy) and then like a strike of lightning my belief was reignited with vigor. I was captivated through and through. The only thing I found myself wanting was perhaps to be left to ponder the book and question for myself whether their [the characters] universe was real to them or not, alas, I must settle with saving those thoughts for my own existence.
