I knew I was probably going to stay up reading this, but it's the end of Daylight Savings Time, so I get an extra hour, so I was like "what the heck, no better time than the present!"

I read this book in one sitting. The story just gripped me from beginning 'till the end. And yes, it made me cry.It's a good thing i read this late at night, on my bed, because that kind of crying is best done in private. I recommend this book to everyone. Young and old alike.
