  1. I haven't read this book, but have wanted to for awhile. I'm loving that you said the ending is awesome and that there are stubborn elephants in it. I love elephants =)

  2. I've only seen the movie of this, which I absolutely loved! I heard the book was so much better. I like that you didn't make the poem about the romance because there is so much more to the story than that. Can't wait to read this one. Thanks for reminding me to add it to my list!
