I can't remember how many times I've read this book. I've loved it for years. Book, movie, musical - all of 'em. Although, if I remember correctly, I saw the musical first.

Like most books that you read multiple times, I always notice something different or new in each reading. In this one, it was the sense of joy that I had when Colin first discovered Spring. And how he spoke of the Magic that pushes seeds up through the dirt, I felt that elation and understanding, and I'm not sure I've had that before upon reading.

It's interesting for me, while reading, I either had snippets of the songs in my head or pictured the movie itself. Which I guess is both good and bad, at least the movie part. Although I think it'd be worse for someone who doesn't enjoy the movie.

I'm babbling. lol
