YES! Yes! YES! I WON this Andrew Solomon Book! :) Oh, wow! If you haven't heard of this book, read the summary and, most likely, you'll want to win/read it, too! If you love learning as I do, Far From The Tree is for you. I'm shocked and in awe that I WON this! Yes.

There is a lot of information to be learned in this book. At times, Andrew Solomon writes pages and pages of his thoughts mixed with facts. While I may not agree with him on everything, I thoroughly enjoyed learning so much I never knew before. Not just about facts, but about myself. His writing caused me to form my own opinions, based on fact, and still respect his. It was so much fun! It would take days to write all I learned and I could learn even more by reading it again. This is like a reference book and I LOVE IT. I am even more happy I won it and will keep it forever. Buy this - and never as an e-book - and keep it in a safe place so as not to ruin it. Have fun reading, learning and forming your own opinions! :)

Thanks! It is already causing me to ask myself so many questions, to which I don't believe there are any concrete answers.
