even as a Christian I get a teachable moment out of this book, but also remember that it is a KIDS BOOK!!! It's kids who need to like it, not adults, but a few on here dont seem to get that, as a few people on here are sharing their negative views about it, and not the objective reviews aimed at the intended age group of the book... I for one read it as a kid, and as a result, I still love it... back then i read this book in paperback, and it still brings me to tears, both from joy, and from sadness... you will have to read it for yourself to find out why... but again I think it's a good book no matter it's faults... the ending is a bit of a cliffhanger, etc, etc...
