I've read this book at least three times, and I never get tired of thinking back on George and Coco's intense relationship and all the wonderful, terrible, and enchanting things that happen on the island of Willow Springs. This story is fundementally about good vs evil/love vs hate, but it's told in a unique and haunting way. By the end of the story you'll both wish you could and thank God you can't ever go to Naylor's fictional island. The quirky, likable, yet deeply flawed characters and their ghostly history continue to haunt me every time they cross my mind, and George and Coco's love story remains the greatest and most moving of all that I have encountered. I was so caught up in the debate over what REALLY happened to George that I wrote a paper on it in college and received some of the highest praise I ever got on a lit crit piece.

Magical realism is a neglected genre, and it's wrong that a book like this is so unknown while books like Fifty Shades are read by practically everyone and their mom. I recommend this book to all humans.
