Still not a fan of the cursing. This is the kind of book that is powerful enough that one read is worth it, but I dont need to go back to it. Too much profanity for me.

I have been plagued by the inability to turn a page. Much sadness. Will consider reading today.

The prologues were described to me by friends as confusing and hard to follow. I have to say? Far from it. The best narrator intro I may have ever read.
Death, from an outside reader sounds dark and devastating,
This portrayal however, is fascinating and beyond any imagination I ever had and- I feel it is the most powerful narrator this book could have.
