I rarely give a book 5 stars and I don't usually write reviews, BUT... this book is worth both. It's one of my new favorites. What a story! I also don't reread books but I will this one. It's so deep and full of so many things I want to remember, so I'll reread and take some notes. Thank you Mr. Wright (and my book club). Proliteracy!
I loves this book. It has both happy and sad moments. It's going to have a place in my top 100 favorite books.
