This is what the best of RBP looks like: humor, uniqueness, blurred lines, and friendship. Ceremony is sentimental, messy, bloody, and fun from start to finish. Of the earlier books, it is where we truly see characters fully develop and relationships become part of mystery literary folklore. The end is one that asks you to really look at a situation not for what you want it to be but for what it is. It is one I continue to read again and again.
