I would rate it 10 also! This book is fantastic--it has all the "essentials" for a good read.
Sounds awesome! Adding it to my list! :D
You'll love it, Mattie, I can guarantee that--but you might need a box of tissues!
I have read this book, and I enjoyed it very much. I think I've read it two or three times over-- but I'll have to pull it out again!
