This is my third time reading these chronicles. I'm 45. I must've been in my late teens the first time I read these and I now wonder how I could've understood them at that age, but I know that I did. My past self undoubtedly got something different from them.

The novel covers emotion in a more deep and meaningful way than anything else I've read: love, fear, desire, greed, self-pity.

“There is also love in the world.” Those words have stayed with me since the first time I read them, and I feel them more now than ever before. They help me to cherish what I have and to understand why I am here. Each time I read them, I understand a little better.

Reading on Kindle is great too, as the dictionary is only a fingertap away. Where does he get that knowledge of vocabulary from?
