Holy freaking crap, what did I just read? I mean, I know what I just read, but whoa. This book blew me away. My full review is only slightly more coherent: http://youtu.be/-E-LMh9VhmM
4.9..... Well, that hurt. I feel physically exhausted. -------- After thoughts: What am i doing reviewing this precious, brilliant piece of literature. I clearly won't do it justice. This novel is like an Amanda Palmer song (her earlier work, think Astronaut). It starts soft and then ru...
