Oh how I loved this book! Wallace and Hugo are probably some of the most loveable characters I've ever read about. The concept of this book is so unique, and as a spiritual person, I'd like to think something like Charon's Crossing is real-- that when we pass, we have time before truly crossing over. Nelson and Apollo pulled on my heart strings constantly. This didn't quite hit five stars for me because I predicted the ending about half-way through, and the beginning dragged for me... I didn't feel fully immersed until around page 100. I'm glad I stuck it out though because this story is so beautiful!
