I really enjoyed his book, although I was looking for something scary when I chose it. The plot is unique and mysterious, and the writing style is also unique and mysterious. Together it makes for a very thought provoking read. I truly bonded with the charcters, I felt the hopeless cold, the emptiness, the fulfillment, the desperation, and the joy. I hope there are more books available by this author!!!
