Critical Evaluation:  

This book really makes me to think about my life, because since I was little I always want new things, like I want to have new toys, bikes, now I want things even more expensive things like a new computer, play station even though I already have all these things, but I just want new ones so keep up with my friends. But from this book I learn that I should appreciate for the things that I already have. I would give this book about 10/10.
