The little people got me to read further but why I dont know. Its odd. The novel made me think of old forgotten feelings and childhood. A rather original book. Please read it and be transformed.

I don't like the "this is it" thinking, that he presents. There are other ways as well. 4 hrs and 58 mins. do not fix you life or situation.
That i like about the book is that it can inspire you to do new good thinks and thinking.
