A lovely novel, there's really nothing negative I can think to say about it. It only missed out on a full five star rating because I didn't find it a transcendent life experience or something with a massive amount of staying power (for me, personally, at least; I know the book is nothing new and stays beloved in the minds of many). I personally found it very touching and heart-warming, and am glad I read it, but if not for its fame I'm not sure I'd remember it. Then again, if not for its fame, I wouldn't have read it in the first place.
