Ok, I finished "Because of Winn Dixie" this morning and I have to say it is a bit of a tear jerker. I loved it. Clearly, it is a book for young people but it is well written and the lessons it teaches are so well developed.
I was almost done yesterday so Bean and I sat down and had a discussion about it. I was at the point that I didn't know if Winn Dixie was gone for good and I was a little anxious about it. She laughed and said I would just have to finish and find out but then she gave in and told me.
But, I won't tell you .
Quick read, well written, beautiful characterization and setting.
Yep, I recommend.
I might start reading YA books exclusively!

Winn Dixie is fantastic! Glad you got to read it!
I enjoy reading YA books because they're usually a quick read and with some exceptions have a good story line.
Lori -- yes, my g-daughter is introducing me to a lot of things I haven't read -- I am going to introduce her to some of my childhood books and see what she thinks! I don't know how she will feel about the Bobbsey Twins!
GM -- I have read several in the past and have enjoyed them -- they aren't particularly childish and some of the current adult books I just have no interest in -- especially those with the color "gray" in the title.
