Rarely you come across a book that can make you laugh out loud, shake in anger at the injustice of the gods, and then make you cheer when the conflict resolves itself. Sorry, did I say rarely? My mistake, make it hardly. But there it is. A book that made me laugh out loud, was a refreshing break from the cheerful ending, although tragic, was such a good read that I would love to see an awesome director turning this into a movie. Because this would be such an epic movie, provided the director did turn it as how happens in the book. Locke was an amazing character. I could see hints of Ursula Guin story, and Brandon Sanderson's Mistborn influence on him, and it just goes the extra length on my rating to be one of the most interesting character I root for. There is a few epic scenes that made me laugh out in the middle of the night as I read, especially regarding the women they came up upon accidentally cheating. But I won't spoil the story, though I could be the only one reading it in a different light that made the scene so much more funny that it credited for.
