Okay, listen

This book made me sob at the end. 

Pros: It kept my attention. I didn't want to put the book down. 
Really good lessons for Eddie! And the reader!
It seemed as though it was a book that you would get wisdom from when you're in a low place in your life. 
The narration was third person, which hasn't been seen in a lot of the books I read. 
I cherished Eddie and Marguerites' relationship. He was in love with her, and it showed. I commonly thought. "Where's my man to treat me like this!"
I'm a sucker for a book cover with meaning in it.
I was close in guessing the fifth person. 

Cons: It felt as though it was missing something, but I can't put my finger on it.
Maybe it's due to not being the most religious person? But the book was a nice, wholesome thought for being recommended by my cousin.
It disappointed me, though, because so many people said it was good. (My cousin and my business math teacher)
