Marsha Woerner Good and interesting. Not my usual style, but my son was having trouble reading and absorbing it for school, so he would READ a chapter, DESCRIBE it to me, and then we'd LISTEN together. We then listened to it all through. The book was good on several levels. There was the story itself--the memories themselves; the family and friends. Then there were all the morals: the changing views and the slow realization that making life simple had consequences, and the consequences were involved and there were many conflicting considerations.
Then there was the end, anmost paranormal. I won't say more to avoid spoilers.
But it was good. My son even admitted that he probably would have liked it had it not been ASSIGNED!
