it was amazing

Feeling emotionally wrecked. I am not sure if I can call this a review but here are my current thoughts.
Every turn of the page was a punch in the heart. I closed this book each night feeling different; sad, quiet and eager for more. I would go through my day thinking about the book and its characters. I would think of the pained, twisted face on the cover and think of Jude. (In my head the cover is Jude)
I agree the book was a little long. I think it could have been cut down about 150 pages. However, I don't care it was 720 pages. I just finished and sobbed for 10 minutes. Any book that makes a person feel the way this book makes a person feel deserves 5 stars.
