Query: This was a great book!

This novel is an excellent piece of literature and evoked various emotions. Knowles did an outstanding job using versimilitude. It made me feel as if I was close friends with the characters. When Gene punched Quakenbush, I felt like it was my fist and my own revenge. I also shared the guilt with Gene about having jounced the branch and causing his broken leg. The two main themes of this novel were friendship and the struggle between good and evil. Even though there were struggles in Gene and Finny's relationship, Gene always kept a part of himself for Finny like when he felt he gave a part of himself to Finny. This teaches that friendship is complex, but it can always be maintained. Good and evil were present in everyone and they coexist. This is the way life really is. This was an interesting book and I suggest it to English classes all over the world. Kelly and Allison
