Å·±¦ÓéÀÖ

I just finished this book and I am utterly exhausted emotionally and physically. What a harrowing journey through the Scandinavian wilderness this turned out to be. Mr. Neville has such a beautiful and descriptive voice. Some of the passages are so lyrical yet horrifying. I honestly felt the fatigue, agony, and utter hopelessness these characters felt. While some readers didn't care for what some are calling the second half of the book, South of Heaven, I found it just as frightening as the first half. My only complaint would be that the story as a whole could of been wrapped up in about 100 less pages. There are a lot of wordy passages, that while beautiful and excellently written, may of been unnecessary in the grand scope of the novel and wouldn't have effected the plot at all. I look forward to reading more work by this incredibly talented author.
