When the imperfect can easily be replaced with perfection, what will we choose?. In my opinion, this is not only an entertaining book, but a morally courageous and even important book. Not only is the story creepy, at times delightfully action-packed, and horrific (in an age appropriate way), but it’s themes are complex, deeply relevant, and deeply important. ![]() My son was begging me to go on, and I was equally eager to do so.
