What the birds see.
It's a huge buildup for the most depressing ending ever. Slow burner, but the whole book has you jump8 ng into other people's lives and how they play into the mystery

I enjoyed the book. I am not sure it was a literary masterpiece but i felt it was an easy read with an powerful message. The real life accounts of how mental states of hope, love and sheer willpower can overcome physical atrocities. Rarely are there such real examples of how a mental state of mind can overcome such extreme physical conditions.
