This book is one that you won't forget anytime soon. It's kind of heartwrenching when Jonas finds out his job in life is to carry on the pain of the entire world, but you keep wanting to turn the pages finding out what happens next. I've never read a book quite like this one before. Not necessarily a feel good book, but I think you'll find you'll be glad you read it.
