The reason I chose this book is because it is not only one of my favorite books, but I love the back story that goes with it. It is just simply sad in some of the best ways possible sometimes. When I was reading this book I did not want to stop. I would even get in trouble for reading it when I was supposed to be going to bed. That's how good it is. Especially if your and animal lover. Or like when you watch movies and a person dies your not necessarily in tears yet. But when an animal gets hurt, that's when the tears get the best of you. I hope you guys read it someday, it is a tremendous book.
