First off, I'd like to start with how the book has captured my attention from the start. It introduced our main character in a poetic way. Very deep and almost sensual. He was, in his own opinion, odd. Very interested in only himself but in a non self-absorbed way. He never realized his true potential, until he meets Gabi who makes him realize all the good that he has done. It's a romantic take on how a person struggles to perceive one's inner self despite the many obstacles one faces. People around you notice you and are willing to help, if you'd only let them. Some creatures we do not see may offer aid as well. And like many others, we must use our hearts to see them. This book transcends all the good things life has to offer and how you must discover yourself to find these good things. They come often. Only we do not know they are there. A great read about adventure, life, philosophy, and a bit of fantasy; this book is truly a treasure
