Rating: 4 stars

Review: It's hard to believe this book was published in 1959. It was beautifully written, the description was incredible, and loved the personification. I was very impressed with this. I got whiplash after I stopped reading it. I was so immersed in what was happening with these men that when I got back into my own reality I had to do a double take. Crazy. Loved this book so much though!
