This took me forever to finish, but trust me, it's definitely worth it in the end. Always kept me guessing, and even when I was almost finished, I had no idea what the end would be like. It has just the right balance of love, mystery, darkness, unworldliness, and even a little bit of fun, and it stuck with me for a while after I finished.

I loved this story. It's full of hope and in a way, warmth. It teaches us that we are never alone, that we can seek help when we need it, and maybe, just maybe, our dreams will come true.

Personally, the cover is kind of weird looking to me, but the book really is AMAZING! Adventure packed and funny, the author has threaded a bit of magic all throughout the book as well!

Not the best movie ever...most movies I watch are absorbing and keep me on my toes, waiting to see what happens next, but this one was boring and I barely wanted to finish it. Even though the idea of the kid Tuck filming the whole movie was kinda cool and unique, it just didn't cut it. The camera was like it was filmed by a kid....which it was, I guess. But it was annoying. I could've filmed half the movie myself! As for the plot, it wasn't very clear, and some of the things I still don't get. Anyways, that's my opinion. Some people love it, so I would advise to at least try to watch it. :)Not the best movie ever...most movies I watch are absorbing and keep me on my toes, waiting to see what happens next, but this one was boring and I barely wanted to finish it.

I've been looking at this book for a while, and it didn't seem very interesting, but when I finally took it off the shelf, I was immediately captured by this warming story, with glimpses of magic weaving in and out of the words.

This is such a GREAT book! Very touching. It made me appreciate the things we always take for granted. Almost Home is one of the most meaningful books I have ever read, and it has a great moral. I definitely recommend reading this!!!
