Overall, I enjoyed this book pretty thoroughly.  The storyline was pleasant in terms of flow, however, the story itself is surprising, and unexpected. The book is fairly decent in length, providing interesting insight, plot, and drama. For me the novel ended up becoming an ultimate catharsis. The ending was sad, however, it was relieving projecting "a feel good" feeling or aura.The characters Erkki and Miguel were truly notable and memorable as you read and feel their hardships and struggles.  Poor Erkki seems to encounter numerous issues and ultimately is pulled into a shady situations and often life threatening situations,  thankfully his brother helps, becoming support along the path.  The experiences described involving Erkki's special intuition and abilities, truly allows you to question your own sense of perception and personal reality.  About halfway through, a child-like presence seemed to emulate and place himself within my path.  It was truly interesting seeing how this book was affecting my life.However, despite the monstrosity and evil persisting in a world clouding the innocence, there seems to be a higher sense of correctness, purity, and hope.  It is easy to get lost in the negative images and events, however, that slight amount of hope lingers and gives an uplifting view on life.  Not only will you be left with this feeling, the touching story of Erkki and his connectablecharacter will make an impact, staying with you forever.
