In my opinion the book was GREAT. To tell you the truth I cried at the end when Neil thinks about leaving to live with his dad. The reaction that Geraldine was giving off in the story really made me sad. I wondered if Neil was really going to get in the car and leave with his dad =(. But then it got better and he stayed with Geraldine and his mother. I had TONS of questions. Overall it was EXCELLENT! Thumbs up.

I thought that the book was sad and funny. You could understand how the characters felt. I felt like I was part of the story.
