Review: This book turns up on "Top 100 Books" lists again and again, so I thought I'd read it and see what the fuss is all about. I have to admit I don't really get it. Sure, it's a sweet story, but the ending was very disappointing to me. If you read it and loved it, I'd be very interested in hearing your thoughts on it, and why you like it so much.
