I really liked this book. The only reason I don't give it 5 stars is because the language is kind of simple, and at times there is more "telling" than "showing".
The highlight book is the last letter written by Tokue. Such an inspiring piece of writing, I will be thinking about it for a long time to come.
I like that the book didn't wrap everything up neatly, but it answered the questions that would allow the reader to speculate where the characters are going to end up next.
