REVIEW
I just have to start off by saying… I LOVED IT. This book was a quick heart felt read. I am not going to lie. I cried, like a little girl. I've seen the film before ever reading this… so I already knew what was going to happened, and yet this book touched me. This book is really down to earth… It's about a friendship and a imaginary world they invent. It's a realistic book… and I believe that's why I enjoyed it despite the fact that it made me emotional, because things happened… in any moment life as one knows it can change… and this book proves that. Great book. Enough Said. Just pick it up, and read it… I can only hope you enjoy it as much as I did.
NEGATIVES:
• None that I can think of. :D
POSITIVES:
• I enjoyed how the author brought the characters to life… Paterson made them feel like actual people. I believe anyone who reads this books can relate to any one of these characters.
• I loved how the "depressing situation" was established.
• I enjoyed the writing of this book.
• I enjoyed a lot more things… but won't write them down, because I don't want to spoil anyone!! >_<;;
MY FAVORITE QUOTE(S):
