"I've never had a book affect me the way Whale Song affected me"

Here is another critique from an ESC Trillium student. I've removed any major spoilers.
Friendship, death and love are just a few of the things that were portrayed out of the book I read in my grade 11 class with Mme Pam.  It was a wonderful book and I would recommend it to anyone who wants a great book full of emotions. 
Whale Song was an easy read so I believe we could have read it in grade 9 or 10, but I'm not complaining.  The story was amazing, it's wonderful how deep the emotion is...
