Warm Fuzzy

A lot of people have fallen in love with Kate Dicamillo. Because of Winn-Dixie is the book that made her famous. Newbery honor book. Made into a movie. Everyone thought it was awesome; I've never heard a bad word spoken against it. Then The Tale of Despereaux won the Newbery. A totally different book, some people complained about aspects, but all acknowledged it as excellent. I thought both were pretty good, but neither really did it for me. Well today I read The Miraculous Journey of Edward Tulane, and that's done it for me. Simple. Elegant. Genuine. Wonderful. I don't think it's for everyone, but I loved it. After finishing it I just sat and savored what I was feeling for a while (which is rare for me, since I'm always doing something).
