So I know that I am probably one of the last people on earth to read this book but I just finished and I am completely "haunted" by it. WOW. In California I started a book club with some friends and forced them to choose this book as the first. We then moved and I didn't really pick it up until the other day. Since I declared a readathon and drove Seth nuts by doing my usual OCD reading routine. That's the problem for me and books, I can't seem to put them down, I just want to finish. I get obsessed with finishing and talking about the book. So much so that I drive people crazy. Anyway....I am an emotional person but not with books. I am pretty good at detaching myself from the characters and I rarely cry. I think the last book I cried was "Where the Red Fern Grows" but I was 8 and those were different times. This book however made me stop and sob several times. I don't want to go into details because I want a certain member of my family to read the book but each "sad part" (for lack of better words) hurt me on a different level. At the end I wanted to call Mrs. Bestor and ask if I could write a book report just for fun. Great book, EVERYONE should read it.
Post Script: When I reread my post I couldn't read "just for fun" without the Nacho Libre accent. (Thanks honey)

Fine blondemama, I'll read the book!
Ps-nice june cleaver shot... what a beautiful woman.
I'm sure Mrs. Bestor would let you.
Kite Runner is a great book. We got to hear Hosseini speak at GMU last year, it was fascinating.
Oh Marc...you are the friend who has not only been there but done that. I mean that in a good way, I am jealous.
Welcome back to Utah, btw. We need to get together!
What ever happened to “books are for rich people”? By the way thanks for coming to my party. You rocked Guitar Hero II. And thanks for making me a millionaire.
Are you talking about Phyllis or Melodie. Sure Melodie wore the leather skirts and drove Ryan Stevenson nuts, but I always felt like I got a better critique of my work from Phyllis. Either way you should publish your book report on your blog and Marc will edit it for you.
I would still give you an A on your book report, even though I don't know who you are. Talk to me. (An old friend)
