 I DONT WANT IT TO BE DONE. 
 This book was beautiful! It made me so happy and it made me cry. 
 Just honestly, I don't think I've ever got so invested and connected with characters from a single book (so basically excluding Harry Potter). 
 Doerr's writing was so so lovely, the pace of this book was pretty much perfect and you can tell that it took a lot of crafting to make. I don't get put off by slow paced books as long as the writing is really good and characters are actually doing things, but if you aren't one for slow reads, it may not appeal to you. 
 But honestly, the writing, the plot, the characters, the setting, the research he put into it, everything, was done so well. 
 His 10 years spent on this novel was so worth it, AHHHHH! 
 This one has made it into my favourite books, definitely.
