One of the best books I've read in a long time. I usually don't get emotional over books, but I did when i finished this one - I just wanted it to keep going and going. It's about life and death, joy and sadness, and it reminded me so much of my own grandfather who passed away this time last year. When I finished it, I just wanted to be able to call him up and thank him for who he was and his influence on me. This is a book I'd give as a gift to any person I know loves to read.
