This book was so beautifully written. I read the english translation of course so I can only imagine just how beautiful the original version must have been. It takes you to a different veiw.

This was the last book I read my last year in college (well, for class anyway). And what a way to end your college career. This is hands down one of the most touching and inspirational books I have ever read. EVERYone should read this book!
