Can't say I cried like mr curiosus did, but I did, in fact, get quite emotional. This is a very serious story, with a very serious, very lifelike ending. From a professional standpoint, the story had enough plot to keep you interested until the happy came and the happy didn't involve sex. Just love. You should so sell this as a book, revised with more history of his life at the beginning. Just opinion, not criticism;) Overall loved it though!
