The Crazy Man, by Pamela Porter

I loved it so much I'm not sure where to begin. It was the first novel-in-verse I've ever read and finished--it was beautiful, breathtaking, touching, sad, heartwarming, funny, sweet, poignant...and also easy to read and lacking in the pretension I had found in other novels-in-verse I had tried to read in the past. Truly one of my favourites of the year!

(Note: I first read this in 2006)
