Review of 'The Miraculous Journey of Edward Tulane' on 'Goodreads'
4 stars
Starts out much like any other book in that it begins to tell a story in dry detail. By chapter seven, our main character begins to go through some changes that bring warmth to the story.
From here on, every page gets warmer as emotional intelligence becomes stronger and we can relate much better to the main character through emotions, which, are the best and worst aspects of Humanity.
I, or rather, a friend of mine, yes, a guy I know, told me his eyes welled up twice while reading this book. Once out of sadness and then again, at the end, out of happiness. I was surprised he could tell me this because that kind of emotional display is something I could never admit to.
A short quick read. Not epic by any means, but just enough character development and story to make it a slightly memorable, quite pleasant, much better alternative to reading social media.
