I give this book 3 out of 5 stars.
I guess I would really give this book slightly closer to 4 stars, it just wasn't quite all the way there for me. I FINALLY, after what feels like forever, FINISHED this extremely long book. This is one of the craziest books I have read in a while. It jumps around a lot and for the longest time I really wasn't even sure what was going on, and although it took me a little while to really get into, once I did I couldn't stop reading and just had to know what in the world would happen to Amy and the others. In the end I was so glad that Theo and Maus were together (in Provo, Utah come to find out!), I was so happy for Sara and her finding love in Hollis, I was amazingly sad and disappointed in Alicia and her choice to join up with the army all so quickly and suddenly, yet glad when she comes back to Peter in the end (although now even though they are together I am not really sure I feel like Alicia is worthy of Peter's love anymore that's how much Alicia's choice affected my feelings for her), and I just want so badly for sweet Amy to find peace and happiness. Sooo much happens in this book I feel like I could easily forget important things before the next book comes out (which I find myself hoping it isn't quite as long?). The only bothersome thing for me about this book was the foul language which in some parts of the book was extremely excessive and in other parts non-existent, which is what made it possible for me to push through (for some strange reason I'm just not a huge fan of having to ignore the "f" word too many times in one book). There were many times while reading this book that I found myself just wanting it to be over already, but finally when nearing the last couple hundred pages I was finally to a point where I knew I was enjoying the book enough that I would be at least slightly sad when it came to an end, knowing I would want more.
