I can only describe this book simply as emotional. This book made me feel so many things, and made me feel them so deeply that my heart hurt and I needed to take a break. I do understand some of the criticism for this book, but for me I love it when a book makes me think about things I normally wouldnt, puts life into perspective and sticks with me for a long time. In fact, I think this book will stay with me forever. I wish I could read this for the first time all over again. Truely an incredible book!
