I read this a few years ago and i still look fondly towards it to this day. I'd Give it a light 9 (9.3), i could go in to Details but if i do ill end up writing a 3 page review, so ill give the quickie on it. the emotions that these characters convey are so real in context of the story; that you can feel those emotion yourself when your reading it. that's probably the thing i like about it the most. The art complements and enhances the story, and is just wonderful in its own right. The dialogue and interactions and inner monologues of the characters feel so real; that they have more dimensions to them then people I've know for years IMO this is a classic and is a MUST read!
