I'm torn to pieces. This is one of the most powerful, wrecking, highly emotional and destroying books I've ever read. I am by no means a crier when it comes to books but this one had me. I was weeping through the last 50 pages with no ending in sight. I've already read "One" by Crossan earlier this year and didn't come up to my expectations. Regardless, I still had high hopes in Moonrise and I didn't get disappointed. I had some trouble in the beginning, to fully getting into the story and I didn't absorb it till the last third. So that's why it's missing a star, but nevertheless: go. read. it. So yeah, it's three am, I'm gonna wrench another tissue and try to get over with whatever it is this book has done to me. Night. Okay, but seriously. This book deals with an important and heart-touching - and at the same time so difficult and hard topic. I knew it was unfair, but I had no clue it was THIS unfair. We need to bring more attention to this. Think about how you treat other people. What you do to them and their families. Think beyond that sweet garden fence of yours and try to see the big picture. You could save lives.
