I began reading this book in elementary school, but never finished it. I finally picked it up off of my shelf and read it front to back in my sophomore year of college. I'm glad to have re-read/read it at this time in my life. It is an introspective, strangely beautiful work. This book has stayed on my mind since completing it. Skellig haunts you... yet it is a haunting you remain grateful for.
