Because of Winn-Dixie

I've always really liked the book. Just recently, I realized that I hadn't read it in years and decided to do some serious re-reading.
Isn't it wonderful when a book is even better than you remembered?
I've never had a book melt my heart before, but this one did. It made me both laugh and cry.
Because of Winn-Dixie just tells you a story in a honest, open-hearted fashion. It was as if a close friend was telling me all about Opal and her dog, not as if I were reading it. Reading it was like looking deep inside someone's soul, and being trusted to do so.
Man, it's such a good book.

Hmmm...I've watched the movie but I didn't know it was originally a book. Maybe I'll look into it.
Movie sucks.
Book rocks.
Just my humnle opinion:)
Few books have ever made me feel happier all over.
