    <body><![CDATA[This is one of my all-time favorite books. I have probably read this more times than any other book. A little to do with the supernatural, and I guess it's a YA book, but it will always be at the top of my list. I guess I have to read it again, now!]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[I read this as a young girl and loved it immensely. I got it for christmas and I read it in one night. After that I've read it again few times. Now I remember my feelings while reading it - not the story itself. ]]></body>

Rereading it now, for the first time in over a decade, it was strange to see what I remembered and what I didn't.  Most of what stuck in my memory consisted of the supernatural bits--the actual ...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/2582487">more...</a>]]></body>
