The Diary of Remember Patience W. - The Diary of Remeber Patience W. is so highly rated because the author used (almost) the right portion of everything, such as humor, sadness, and rejoicing.  The only thing that it was missing was that it got a little too sad in the middle where you are supposed to see action.  Otherwise, I totally recommend it for readers, except they might need definitions for some of the words.  So, have a grown-up or a dictionary handy!" -Calloway Korbisch
