I went into this book not knowing what it was about. I knew that there had been a movie made, but I hadn't seen it.
I was not expecting the story at all. It was an important message told in a clear and interesting way. I feel that it was toned down a bit to reach a larger audience, though.

This book should actually be compulsory at school. It's simple and powerful, relevant and memorable. It's fiction but at the same time it is as true and real life-like as it can be.
