I started this at 10 PM and didn’t look up until 4 AM. It is one of those rare stories that demands your absolute attention until the very last page. I’ve never seen a story balance visceral, soul-crushing brutality with such genuine human tenderness quite like this.
The movie adaptation nails the tone perfectly. I actually took a day off work just to see it alone in the theater, and I’ve raved about it to anyone who would listen since. It stays with you long after the walk ends. A re-read is definitely in order. If you haven't stepped into this world yet, be prepared to finish it in one sitting.
