Here’s the thing….

Did it move you? It moved me to a bunch of emotions…I laughed, I cried, I eagerly awaited the ending…I couldn’t read it fast enough.

That’s the thing about a good story. It moves you.

I think of Jennifer Lopez on American Idol when they always talk about connecting with an audience, of bringing out emotions…where she got goosies (goose bumps), and this story gave me goosies.

I’m not knocking down the story. It’s an amazing story. The best stories are the ones that involves you so deeply that you care for them. I’ve almost flung books for less. The only reason I’m not crying right now is because I’m in a public setting (among other reasons).
