Holy s***.

The absolute GRIP this book had on me this past week when I finally had the time to read it. Jesus Christ. No wonder its a science fiction classic and behemoth. This thing is incredible and may very well be the best thing I read all year.

This book made me cry, smile, snap it closed and pace angrily before returning to it. It is an emotional rollercoaster and I dare say I was more invested in these characters than I ever have been in the past 2 years for a book that put romance on the backburner (but not completely– I do love those two to death).

I'd like to apologize in advance to my friends for the countless hours I will spend gushing about this book. Is it a massive undertaking? Yes. Is it worth it? Absolutely.

I'm not sure I'll ever be over the past 100 pages oh my GOD.
