Let me start out by saying that funnily enough, although ever since I can remember I've loved reading with a passion unparalleled by any other in my life, I had yet to leave a review on Goodreads. That is to say, until this novel. All ye who read the brief description don't be misled into thinking that this novel is going to be what you expect it to be. Nay, this is a wondrous story of untold riches of the most mundane of moments, that makes one think about what one would do in similar circumstances... I could only hope to be as stout-hearted yet sensitive as the titular gentleman. To make a long story short, read it! You'll be whisked away on the wings of imagination, by turns delighted, saddened but, all in all, emboldened to live life in all its moments.
