Amazing
5By Aguy1994This book is a amazing book that has feeling and is written perfectly.Didn't want it to end:(
5By Stephen AndrichI found myself really listening to Tom, it's like I wasn't reading it, like he was talking to me. I cried when it ended. This book kind of fell through the cracks a little i think, and it's sad because everybody should read this book when they can. It gives you a new outlook on life. I have one complaint though, it ended!! I would recommend this book for ages 9-14.Crappy book
1By Lovely 900This book was crappyA good book
4By Posh444It was very interesting but it could be a little longer of a sampleSmall book, but big meaning
3By peacelovemegs1999I thought that this book was kind of slow, and I knew it was a small book so nothing huge was going to happen. But, the parts that were about Jessica, I thought had big meaning put into. This book may not be totally interesting, but it definitely teaches you a life lesson.Poop
