Wow wow wow wow wow. I finished this book a couple of days ago and I have been bereft... I can't read anything else yet. I just wanted to stay immersed in the world that Anthony Doerr had created in Cloud Cuckoo Land. I loved every page, every sentence, every word. I won't talk about the plot or characters because I knew nothing about anything when I started and I think that's the best way to read this book. I will say that it's one of the best books I have ever read, I will tell everyone I meet that they should read it and I'll probably read it again before the month is through. Thank you to netgalley and the publisher for giving me the opportunity to read this incredible book!
