Read This

I understand now why When You Reach Me won this year's Newbery Award. I read the whole thing in two days. From page one you are intrigued, trying to solve this mystery. It's not a mystery book, but the narrator of the story isn't telling you something, so it doesn't make sense, and you keep reading to figure out what it is that the narrator knows but isn't telling you yet.


The whole book is good, but then at the very end it all makes sense. And as soon as you're done reading, you realize you need to read it again, because when you do you will look at everything differently, now that you know.

It was easier to follow than The Time Traveler's Wife, but still makes your head hurt a little bit.
