I LOVE THIS BOOK!!!, August 4, 2005
Reviewer: J. Wahl "jellyjulie" (San Francisco) - See all my reviews

It's been a long time since I read this book, but it has never left me. I was so impressed by it that I keep recommending it to people to read.

I think it has one of the most wonderful and intriguing beginnings:

It is said-and it is true-that just before we are born,a cavern angel holds his finger to our mouths and whispers, "Hush! Don't tell what you know."
This is why we have a cleft on our upper lips and remember nothing of where we came from.
Toward the end of the last century-in 1978, to be precise-a smooth-lipped boy appeared in the world.

Doesn't that totally make you want to read it???
