It took me a long time to get into this book, but the more I read it, the more invested I became. I like the concept of the "power of one" to overcome great obstacles, but there were so many events in the book that broke my heart. Peekay lost so much... Yes, he overcame...but it was hard for me to deal with the pain. Still, I'm glad I read the book. ( ) I have seen the movie numerous times, and love it. And i'm really glad that i already loved the movie, because if i'd read the book first, i'm fairly certain i would not have liked the movie. Too many differences, although the feeling of the book and the movie are quite similar. The book was awesome. I'd recommend it to just about anyone who likes to read. My all-time favorite novel. Reading doesn't get much better than this. I could never forget Peekay. This novel develops so many memorial characters as well. I've read it twice, and plan to do a third reading. If you read this and enjoy it, be sure to read Courtney's "Tandia" for another great story and more of Peekay. Much thanks to Adam Silvers for giving me this book. sin reseñas | añadir una reseña
