Every single one of them changed throughout, and be they good changes or bad, they were all different people by the denouement. ![]() These characters burrowed down deep into my psyche, and I felt like I knew them all intimately. Then, (and get this surprising twist), not all that much happens and everyone goes home! So where's the scary stuff? What occurs that makes so many people rave about this book?
