Idk this was just boring. I tried it once and got like 45 minutes into the audiobook retaining nothing. Then I restarted and only made it like an hour in. I just kinda realized this isn't required reading and I've never seen the movie and idk why I read this I guess. Oh well.

I think this is a lovely tale...one that could easily capture the imagination of children. I enjoyed it but wasn't 100% pulled into the magic. I saw the movie first so that most likely effected my enjoyment.

A book that has stayed with me from childhood to adulthood, explores themes of life and death through a child's eyes and raises moral questions in an approachable way. A story that holds up better than most.

Read to read along w/ my 7th grader who had it for homework. It was short, and sweet, and gives you things to think about without hitting you over the head with it too too hard... and he found it a little slow.
