I had to read this book in school this year. It was probably the only book that I had to read for school that I ever cried to. The fact that this actually happened puts so much more emotion to it. I still have the book and plan to read it about a million more times.
This book broke my heart in half. I remember reading it in 9th grade English and then watching the Oprah episode where he goes back to the camp and talks about it. So sad.
