This is the second time I've read this book, and I am so attached to Linus' and Jenny's relationship, as while as his relationship with Russell. The ending (do not take a sneak peak at the end when you start the book) always makes me cry, which the fact I still cried the second time surprised me. This book has to be my favorite book.

Not a lot of questions get answered, and the ending is one of the most harrowing (but creative) I've seen. It goes from ok, to bad, to horrendous quickly towards the end. 
Never getting answers makes it frustrating, but the frustration is what helps deliver the impact at the end. 

You will feel absolutely empty after this.
