This was my first read of this author. Never in my life have I met a main character I hated as much as Nico (well in the beginning anyway), in a storyline that kept me in its clutches until the very last word. This book was intense and made me look for further meaning. I really love that the author brings about a kind of spiritual recreation and really pushes through to the readers the human experience and its importance in our lives. This book left me mind blown!! I loved every last word!
