truly the greatest book i've ever read

a masterpiece. A MASTERPIECE!! mr. brooks has created a novel full of poignant conflict and brilliant imagery; age-old tradition versus the importance of living in the modern world. mr. brooks reminds us to see the beauty in what we take for granted, and urges us to try and find the beauty in the things we don't understand. his story is set against the backdrop of rural connecticut; it's the story of a young boy learning to think for himself, struggling to please his father, a tough-minded businessman; trying to understand his older brother, who is head-strong but pure-hearted. he learns to deal with loss and defeat, with personal tragedy, and ultimately, with triumph. this book is a classic, a must-read for anyone.
