4.0

While this is a beautiful telling of the story of the narrator's sister's troubled life, it goes beyond that. The narrator takes us through his research process, sharing with us his own thoughts and feelings about what he's discovering. This added layer draws us even further into the story as we see more and more of his personality, understanding why this story is important and must be told. The added elements of pictures, documents, journal entries, and short stories also add interest, engaging the reader with the tangible facts of the story. Overall, this was an excellent book.
