That. Book. Is. Awsome.

We are currently reading this book in class (I'm in Grade 5 for all 'yall who forgot). We are on Chapter 5, Kenji, but I skipped ahead and read more. The last page's three last words were SO SAD.

"She never woke".

The Chapters were:

1. Good Luck Signs
2. Peace Day
3. Sadako's Secret
4. A Secret No Longer
5. The Golden Crane
6. Kenji
7. Hundred's of Wishes
8. Last Days
9. Racing With The Wind
EPILOUGE (READ LAST)

If anyone has read this, discuss, if you haven't you are missing alot.

Discuss. :)

it was a fantastice book, school had the illustrated watercolor version, and i recommend that, illustrations really help to tell a story :) it was really sad, and really moving, i admit i cried a bit when i first read it, :(

it motivated me, as we always have japanese exchange students are our school to do something, and so we now have a display in the library, and i made the 1000 cranes *shudder* i still have 850 or so, the rest got given away to friends after the first display, and i'm considering donating the rest to the library, but then it was such an effort, i'm not sure :P


If you see my sanity, get it to give me a call.

Oh my gosh; I remember reading that book in the 4th or 5th grade.... It was so sad. Our class of 30 kids only made a few hundred cranes though.

I read it... ::thinks:: when I had the chicken pox...so...second grade? Would that be right?

It was a nice story, but I never loved it. Then again, I wasn't crazy about anything I read when I had the chicken pox, it was just that or homework. =P

I read it, did a play on it(did have some "black comedy"), and love the story.

*Thwaks town*BUT ITS ALL YOUR FAULT! YOU BIG MEANIE-TOWN!!

Umm...yeah, I like in the stomic city. They refused to put the statue of Sadako here, so they had to put in Santa Fe. Isn't that mean! :x

I remember reading it a few years ago and I was so sad afterwards. At the time, I think I thought it was beautifully written. Now I don't know if I'd think the same, but the story is beautiful anyway.

I read it in 3rd grade. It was really touching. I reread it again a year or two ago just in my free time.

My 3rd grade teacher didn't let us make any cranes, while all the other 3rd grade classes did. So we hated her for a while. In protest, we made a few hundred cranes during a few recesses, then threw them around the room one morning. XD

Gone.
