Alice Sebold has a story of survival against odds which would make many women crumble. This book saved me.

I just saw that Juliana gave this book two stars... ridiculous. I read this book when I was eleven years old or so and it was the first "adult" book I really tried. It was the first time that I understood the grey between black and white. This book made me cry crocodile tears and snot ran down my face. I remember telling my parents that it was a terrible book because of the ending, and my Dad smiled, laughed and said, "I know. Isn't it great?"

I thought this book was terrible.

This book was great! I can totally see why so many elementary and middle school students like this. It's funny and spot on for the voice and concerns of a middle school kid.

This was also an excellent book. I love the way Marcelo forces us to look at our world differently by watching it through his eyes. Also, I like how the book shows the way life changes you over time.
