I think the thing I like the most about this book is how it's all written in letters. It just looks great.. I love the way Judy looks at the world, so refreshing and entertaining. I guess after a miserable childhood you learn to appreciate things and look at them from a different perspective. You learn to be thankful for everything that comes into your way and try to make the best out of them as much as you can. At first I thought the letters would be boring but the way Judy writes is plain humorous, interesting, and brilliant. Her writing is just mesmerizing. I liked all the use of lots of adjectives (some firstly introduced to me). 
 I absolutely love Judy's character; she is such an example of independence, strength, intelligence, and humility and a lot more wonderful qualities. She never let her being raised in isolation come between her and her dreams. She turned it into a positive. I'll be seeing the cartoon soon and I know I will love it just as much.

 Some favorite quotes: 
 I've discovered the true secret of happiness, Daddy, and that is to live in the now. Not to be for ever regretting the past, or anticipating the future." This specific concept is what I have been living by for as long as I remember. 
 It is funny how certain places get connected with certain people and you never go back without thinking of them.
