"I have probably read this book 18-20 times since I was about 10 years old. The first adult fiction book I ever read and still my absolute favorite. The audiobook version I have is wonderful too, with Barbara Rosenblat narrating. This book has truly stood the test of time."

"I simply love this book. But it would likely not be in my top 5 books of all time if it were not for the audiobook narrated by Davina Porter. It is the absolutely perfect marriage of author and narrator. It is the reason audiobooks were invented."
