Quick-witted, great characters
This was a rousing, quirky (almost heartbreaking at times) fantastically written story. Lots of subtle humor and peculiar characters. It has a nice balance of keeping a foot in reality with another firmly in the bizarre.
It's original, so much so that you never really know where it will end up.
My love of the main character is one I can't fully describe. He breaks my heart and makes me laugh all at once. There is much more I could say about the fun I had reading this, but I feel like you should experience that for yourself.
