I really liked this book. I read it again since my childhood a few days ago and every time I read it I just feel a little bit better. Nice lesson about friendship.

This story is not about giving. It's about an unhealthy co-dependent relationship. I hate this book and it's moral of giving until you are a bloody stump.

Boo.

Sad in the way these classic books often are. Very poignant, but leaves you feeling quite melancholy.
