  at first this book was really tough to get into being that it's written entirely as letters from one writer only. usually during the last quarter of a book i get let down, but with this book i became gripped with the knowledge that this was in fact a true story and the way it was told made it completely genuine causing me to be welled up with tears during the last few pages. although it's a so-so...it was alright by me.
