After reading all of the glowing reviews, I was hesitant to get my hopes up too high before reading this book. Was I ever wrong! An enchanting book about the neighbor from Hell who is determined to enforce the rules and whose life is changed when he is at his lowest ebb. Please read this book. It will restore your faith in the power of friendship and love.
