Reviewed by Chanel MülhauptAt first I didn't like it that much which is the reason I put it back in the bookshelf about 5 years ago. But when the movie came out and was even nominated for this year's Oscars I thought I'd give it a try again. And wow, did I love it! It took a while to get used to the narrative form but I now I love that it's written from Jack's point of view. It gives you the perspective of a 5 year old boy that get's to see the world for the first time which also makes you look at it in a different way. It's a really well written, heartwarming and very enjoyable book. Can't wait to see the movie!
