From 1 to 10

I would rate this book a 7 on the 1 to 10 scale.

This book was very readable, but not really memorable. I would recommend this book though.

Favorite Passage

Miles tossed Mr. Kruz's ashes into the lake at their cabin.

Why

This passage really concludes everything and ties it all in. If it weren't for Mr. Kruz, Miles family wouldn't have made it to their cabin. The action of dumping his ashes into the lake reveals the emotional attachment the author created between the reader and Miles.
