16. Help me - book club assignment on this book...(and spoiler?)
Write a five word sentence describing this book...

I thought the book was wonderful and am sure I missed some of the metaphors.

I love books that leave me with questions, and this was certainly a book of questions.

Am I weird in my thinking that I was relieved when the father died and the boy found a family that was more in tune to his humanity? When reviews point out the love between the father and the son, I certainly think of unconditional love and the boy loved the man no matter what. The man loved only the boy.

The only sentence I can come up with is

"Reverence for self or for humankind?" (and this could be considered over the five-word limit)

Anyone else want to try? (Please.)
