I purposefully delayed finishing this book for over a month because I could hardly stand it to be over. I had to read many chapters over and over again, the first time my heart racing, sweating. The second time to really understand what was going on, after calming down a little. The third time to indulge myself and enjoy the dialogue, descriptions, and pace anew. Reading this book was one of the most physiological reading experiences I've had. Funny, since I have read it and watched the movies multiple times. It's clear a book really speaks to my soul when it is still riveting and rapturous even when I know the end.
