One of the most enjoyable books I have read in a long time. A very nice Almish gentleman told me about the book. I'm glad I listened to him! As I neared the end of the book, I wished it would go on longer.

Great work of literature and a story that will move you to laugh and cry. Too much for my elementary students as the book is much more intense and graphic than either one of the movies made about the book.
