Book Review
This book contains everything a good written book needs in order to keep its shape. I went through laughter, depression, excitement. Those moments where you have to keep reading. Those moments when you are hanging on the edge of your seat having to know what's going to happen next! We all love those moments, but if you really need a moment like this I suggest that you read this incredible book by Chris Colfer.
