I have read this book numerous times in the course of my life. It’s just one of those books that you throw into a box during the multiple times you move from apartment to apartment. I call it a comfort book. I know the ending but still enjoy reading it over and over again. Laura [...]

Then Twilight came along and someone said it was the next Harry Potter, so I read it. And I LOVED it. I guess it was all downhill from there. I admit [...]
