Has yet to fail me; every time it ends I wish to start over.

I will just keep reading this book until I know every line by heart thank you.
(Also I really have a thing for lines in parentheses apparently.)

Still pure gold.

I do not read as quickly as I want to, but believe me when I say that even two months later (or rather, a month after finishing it the first time) this book is as magical as ever. I am already itching to read it again. (Yet again no intelligent analysis: there is too much to talk about and explaining it feels futile and books are better when read anyway.)

This is such an utterly brilliant story that I have no proper words to describe what I am feeling right now. In the midst of stressful exams and dreary expectations of the future it was a perfect way to remember that life is full of magic and one must savour that. I wish I had read it sooner, if not the second I held the book in my hands, but apparently that is not the way it was supposed to go. Or the way I willed the story to go. It feels like a defining point in my life and I am still trying to wrap my head around the story. I cannot wait to read it again if I am honest and I feel as if I should have thirty-eight copies ready at all times to gift others with endless magic contained in less than five hundred pages. I cannot say anything comprehensive about the story itself for now other than the bees.
