Freak The Mighty is HORRIBLY SAD! (SPOILERS)

Don't get me wrong its a great book, its so great it almost made me shed a tear which is not something I do very often. It also gets DARK AS SHIT! for a few chapters (about 4 I think) when Max is kidnapped by his now paroled father and nearly murdered by him. Freak's death is also incredibly saddening.

R.I.P. Freak.
