Highly recommend this book!  I could not put it down and read the entire book in one sitting!  Be prepared for a good cry though, just to think that anyone could treat a child this way.  I think his case is still the 3rd worst case of child abuse in the state of CA, not sure though.

well for one thing...Harry Potter. Thats one of my favorite series. If you haven't already read them, sisterhood of the traveling pants. one of my favorite books ever is cobwebs, by karen young...thats awesome. also, the dueling princes, stealing princes, pulling princes set...i love those. One of those hideous books where the mother dies (yes, thats the title) i love that book, i've read it like 6 times. all of those are great...i hope there's at least a few you haven't read here! this is exactly what i told someone else, idk if you read that, but if you did, thats why it looks familiar :)

Yes!\nI didn't start reading them until after the 3rd movie came out. I thought they were just kids books. When I was visiting my Aunt and Uncle a couple years ago I thought I'd give it a try. I read all 5 books in about a month. Ever since then, I fell in love with the books. I've read them all many times! I can't wait until the next one!

OMG... I read that book when I was a kid and don't remember.  But I can tell you that Jane was a young child being raised by her ungrateful relatives, which put Jane in a girls home.\n\nJane grew up to be a nice young woman and became a teacher and got a job teaching a little girl in this rich mans house with nanny's and all.\n\nAnyway, Jane taught piano, math, French and other studies.  From what I remember, the little girls father became fond of Jane.  Jane toward the end leaves for a new job because I guess the had to leave the place with the father wanting Jane and all.\n\nSo, I do remember about a fire in the mansion which left the father blind.  Jane eventually went back to the mansion to visit and found his was blind and stayed with him to take care of him.\n\nThat book has always touched me since I was a little girl.\n\nI know I did not answer your question, but I enjoyed what I wrote.  It made me think of the book and Jane again.

Well, I enjoyed them both. \n\nHer new one is good too - I love the chapter where she explains why everyone can be rude to people around them - because they are trying to pretend they are alone in their own bubble and there are no others.

I LOVE THAT BOOK.  I'm puerto rican and I totally related to that book.  In a nutshell , it's a non fiction story about girl who was raised in Puerto Rico in her childhood years, then moves to brooklyn with her mother and many brother's and sisters.  She discusses the ups and downs of her family life, dealing the with her identity as a Puerto Rican and an American.  She's telling the story how she saw her mother as woman who continually had children, and her yearning to be back in her homeland.  She was used to living in country and being able to enjoy nature, unlike her life in brooklyn, where they had to struggle for everything.  I hope this helps you a little bit.  If you're Puerto Rican, read the book!!!

I have read this book a couple of times and am looking forward to the movie.\n\nI think it is a great piece of fiction.  Sure, there are some truths in it, but for the most part it is pure fiction.  I have been to many of the sites that he pointed to in the book and some just aren't the way he stated.\n\nI think that it makes baseless claims about Jesus being married and having a child, and a few other things, but that is his perogotive as a writer of fiction.\n\nI am Catholic and am not in a hissy or upset or mad that the book was written, but I am upset and mad when people use it as a basis to trash my Catholic faith.  It is FICTION!  He says so himself!  But regardless of being true or not, I look at it this way, if Jesus was married and had a child, what better roll model for me, as a Catholic father to have?
