I don't remember ever crying so much over a single book. It got me laughing and sobbing. It's tragic and very emotional, but hopeful, and beautifully written. It's also very instructive and I loved it from the first page to the last one. A wonderful book about love, friendship, survival, and the importance to forgive.
