I just finished One Day. I've been reading the last chunk at school during our silent reading time. Not a big fan of crying a little in front of students, so things got a little awkward today as I finished this one up in front of an audience of 39 kiddos.
I thought some of the years of the novel were a bit draggy, but the message is quite worthy. I haven't seen the movie and probably won't. I can't decide if I recommend this book. If you'd asked me while I was slowly making my way through the middle, I would have said no.
The best thing (other than the message) is that you pick up nice, jaunty, British phrases and syntax as you read. It's similar to P.S. I Love You in style, but P.S. is my preference of the two.
