Product review: A friend of my mom's in France sent me this book quite a long time ago. It sat on my shelf for months before I finally picked it up to read it - and by the time I got to the second or third page I didn't want to put it down. I finished it that same afternoon.This book is amazing because the author has the talent to use the journal format in a very effective way. Not many people can do that. Usually I find that style rather dull - but here it is outstanding. Through first person you step into Charly's shoes. As things dawn on him, they dawn on you. Some parts are humourous and most are touched with a bit of pathos, because you know that any minute all he has gained is going to go. And when he goes - you go with him.It's very sad and moving overall and I was so affected by it that I didn't want to even talk to anyone for several hours after finishing it. I just kept thinking about the story.It's definitely a classic and I think everyone should read it.
