Well that was really sad, but great. It's not really well written or exciting, but the characters are powerful and so are the little observations about them. Leslie is a wonderful character and their friendship is great. I don't know what it is about this story that makes it so special, but there is definitely something very special about it indeed. It made me cry, and I don't usually do that, especially for a book.

So, so, so sad. What can be said about this book that hasn't already been touched on? Ahh.. what a story.

I understand why this book traumatized whole generations. I feel like this also is a piece of the American convinction that 'I didn't die' is a great achievement and endorsement from childhood adventures. I guess I'm glad I now have this cultural touchstone.

Very late to the game reading this wonderful book. Definitely a children's/teen's book but it's a satisfying read for anyone. If you've ever struggled with being different or not being able to find your own voice, Bridge to Terabithia teaches us how to be brave and move forward in the face of bullying and death. I really enjoyed this book and I have no shame in saying this brought tears to my eyes. Well written and will appeal to all ages.
