cried my eyes out over this one

Sadly, I don't remember every detail, but I do remember enjoying it immensely
enjoying!... I finished reading it on a subway train. A student was meeting me at the exit. She asked, "What happened? Do you have a cold?" - because I was actually in tears and making those sounds, you know with my nose. I had actually bawled aloud in the subway, making all other passengers uneasy.

Yeah, I guess the sight of a crying bear in the subway would make people uneasy.
I think I should reread this one. The only reason I didn't give it a full 5 is because, if I didn't love it enough to re-read it since the first read, I don't feel fair giving 5.
I have always given, and will always give it a 5, and I don't think I'll ever reread it

This book read more like a Dean Koontz novel to me. In fact, I think Koontz has a couple of novels that are very similar and I’ve confused the plots to them before.
Hearts are tough, she said, most times hearts don't break, and I'm sure that's right . . . but what about then? What about who we were then? What about hearts in Atlantis?
er... reading like a Koontz isn't exactly the same as reading like a piece of shit?

I enjoyed Blaze, it's very "Of Mice & Men...ish"

Man, you guys are really making me want to go home, pull the book off the shelf, and immediately start a re-read. So I can feel guilty about giving it 4.5.
I gotta be honest: it's not one of my favorites (maybe because it is derivative of Steinbeck). It's not one that I ever have had the urge to re-read. Would immediately have given it a 3 or a 3.5, but for the comments here, which prompt me to wonder whether I overlooked something. Gonna have to ponder this one, before I cast my ballot. . . .
5. Maudlin, predictable, but so touching I almost cried. It just struck all the right chords with me.
