This is one of the first books that I read when I was younger, and it's by far my favorite book so far. It made me laugh, and it made me cry, and I know it will touch your heart as it did mine. It doesn't even compare to most fiction books out there. This is a classic and a definite must-read. A great book for everyone to read.
