This author takes such crazy leaps, but it all works in the whole to make a very compelling read, a real page turner.

There's also something wistful about the interstitial illustrations between chapters, of children wandering around in fantastic landscapes.

I don't know when this was made, but I assume it's somewhere around the late 80's. From a technical perspective, a lot of it would have worked better today, where a lot of things are actually interconnected through the internet.

In the end, it's a bittersweet tale that leaves me a bit sad, but I had a feeling from the beginning that it was the only way the tale could really end. Life. Death. Memories. And maybe something more beyond all of it.
