7. My opinion
◦ I read this book in High School myself, and loved it. It kept me so engrossed in
the story line that I couldn’t put the book down. The time period when I read
this book was a dark and difficult time for me as a student and person.
However, this book helped me realize that everything happens for a reason, we
are all connected. Life is a cycle, you are alive and the next thing you know
you are dead. It’s your choice about what you want to do with and during your
life. I recommend this book to others and as previously mentioned, I rate it five
stars.
