I loved this book too!!! its amazing the way the characters blend their stories! and it feels so real!!!! I am a speed reader so I finished it in about 45 min!
THIS BOOK WAS ABSOLUTELY AMAZING. Seriously, the two stories and the way they come together are incredible. And, the fact that one story is all pictures until he end is great. I also like that both of the two main characters are deaf.
This was an amazing book!!! My friend in my class told me about it! He persuaded me to read the book, so I did!!! I loved it! I also like the cover page!! Such a good book! You should read it! Take my word for it. You'll feel like you're into the book and you'll really enjoy it! Read it someday!
