Read in July, 2009

This is quite possibly my favorite book of all time. I think that it is Irving at his best. There are events set out early on in the book that tie back in at the end beautifully. I finished this book on the bus from Mont st. Michelle and cried my eyes out. The characters were just believable enough and yet still stretched the bounds of what you would expect. I hope that someday I find a stuffed armadillo...

Alexa Chapman I agree 100%. I don't think I could say it any better, and I have also been hunting for a stuffed armadillo since I read this book.

Meh The armadillo was one of my favorite parts as well. It's so uncommon and entirely unique.
