What a relief to find a book that does not have a love triangle and does not tie every thing up with a big bright happy bow. In fact the ending of this book is open to interpretation. I sped through this one, really reading the last 75% of it yesterday.
Yes, it is a kids book and yes it may not be the most in depth book, but it was thought provoking and enjoyable. I am looking forward to having my daughter read this one. I really want to see how she responds to it.
I don't think I would blindly recommend this book, as there are some pretty tough issues that are brought up and I would want to be prepared for questions they may have.
Originally it was written to stand alone, but later she wrote 3 follow up books. I will be reading them, but I will give it a little time.
Looking forward to seeing the movie adaptation.
