absolutely beautiful
i will never forget this book, it makes me understand the importance of being alive
This is a very sad story
I was crying the whole way through this book. I would recommend this book to people who need to cry or are angry or something like that. The reason I bought this book was because I had read it at school and enjoyed it even though I cried when he died
