And once I reached the place where I stay, despite being so tired and all,I finished the book and…. I had to stop myself from reading the book about 50 pages before it reached the end for I know, someone who is really too emotional, I might not be able to handle what I am reading and just cry on the bus.
While I was reading this, I sometimes have to stop and just feel the the words that I read and stare on the road. I love how the book had that steady flow of words that I was not able to notice that it’s almost finished.
I read my copy of this book when I was travelling back to work coming from my holiday break. These are the qualities that define us as human beings, and propel us, on occasion, to greatness.”- R.J. There are books that really touches the heart, there are books that pinches the heart, then there are books that stabs the heart.
