Throughout the book he furthers this by discussing the impact of division of labor, the invisible hand of the free market, and the free will of people on a country's markets and economy. Although it follows at times the slow nature of economics books, Wealth of nations was an enjoyable experience to read as it allows for deeper reflection of the economic principles which govern our current free market system.

Throughout the book I was left in shock by the choices made by Holden.

The main character, Ken Kaneki, falls victim to one of these ghouls, and before they can hit the final blow, an assortment of steel beams fall down, killing the ghoul while Kaneki survives. One surgery later, Kaneki finds something strange happening to him. He finds he's gotten an organ transplant with that ghoul, and now he must figure out how to live with being both human and ghoul. I think the book has a lot of emotional depth, and the books that come after go into great detail showing the world around it and getting you invoked in the world these characters live in.

Although it presented very strong, spooky imagery which was very unpleasant at times, I was amazed at how the plot would often switch from when the group was 27 years younger, to the present time, and how they were dealing with the same frightening, deadly issue of being haunted by an unrealistic creature.
