"... In each of us there burns a flame of independence that must never be allowed to go out. That as long as it exists within us we cannot be destroyed. "

For me this book was so-so because the beginning drags on a lot. It kept my intrigued, and I definitely wanted to know how the story ended, but it was difficult to get there. I also thought some of the deaths were unnecessary, but what can you do! Overall a decent read!
