One of my favorite authors, always a must have. He writes so beautifully. This was not my favorite of his books, but it still rates a 4. Incredible prose, vividly developed characters, I even had to look up 4 words in the first pages of the book to even know what they meant, now that's unusual for me. I'm going to say this: "I breathed the book, deep into my body" (this is kind of a joke because a beautiful line of the book said "I breathed the morning, deep into my body." But it makes sense after you read the book, you do become involved in their lives and feelings.
