Even though I understand and admire the symbolism and tightrope between fantasy and reality Almond has created, this story seemed fell flat of enjoyable.

A book I paused to ponder for awhile once I had finished it.

At the age I am now, the truth was obvious to me. Yet, dispensing disbelief as the age group it was primarily written for it would contain a huge shock. I think it is a good way to explore 'forbidden' topics with young adults (age 10-24).

I would recommend it to anyone over 12.
