Tiffany,

Thank you! You know I agree about the ending. The only two points that made this book four and not five stars for me are 1) the ending and 2) the lack of exploration of the mother/father characters of Charlie and the subsequent slow-moving family scenes as a result. Otherwise, a great read. I am such a library wh*re but I should probably pick myself up a copy...

Sue,

Thanks =)

I'd be curious to see what you think of it. How old are your boys?

I wasn't too much of a fan of the ending but I still loved the book. I have a ratty copy of this sitting in my bookshelf that gets passed around to friends who like to read. Great review!

Cheers,
Tiffany

Though my kids are too young yet for this, I may just have to pick up a copy for myself. Thanks for the recommendation :)
