This book was quite enjoyable. This is not normally something that I would read, but I have decided that this new year (and decade) I was going to open my mind and read things a little outside of my comfort zone.
While a fiction book, this was so well written that you could almost feel as if it was non-fiction - a true testament to the authors writing ability.
Paul was an extremely well written character, and following his life through tragedy and happiness, I felt as if I was following a close friend on his journey. The author has a talent for weaving a complicated tale of emotions, but one that keeps you reading and will leave you satisfied at the end.
