content: I read this book about three years ago, and the impact I had the minute I was done with it has stayed the same. And I mean WOW. I've been wowed by just a few books so far in my life, and I can most definately say this is one of them. It's a beautiful, heartbraking story written in a straight, blunt manner. I believe it can appeal to anyone, young or old, and so on. It's written in stanzas (poetry format, however you want to call it), and I really dislike that type of writing, but that's the thing about this book, it has so much power, that can get to anyone.This book is just incredible and draws you in from the moment you open it up.
