glossing over knox’s actions/deeming his character arc as one of the forms of romance we stay alive for is fucked up!! he’s not being romantic he’s disgusting!!! chris run PLEASE also racism is tagged for charlie calling himself nuwanda and drawing a lightning bolt on his chest, both representing cultures he isn’t a part of? it felt odd, and closer to appropriation of/laughing at ideas than appreciation. 

I wanted more to be done for neil SO badly as someone who relates to his character the most, and think the heart wrenching experience tipped my rating higher than it should be given my aforementioned criticisms. Neil’s story of wanting freedom from familial pressure, and finding safety in friends and the arts, is some classic queer coding (not to mention todd’s role). He’s put in a bind between conformity and self expression that I wouldn’t wish on anyone. I SEE him on many levels, and I believe the crushing emotions his character and robin williams as mr. keating were able to portray are outweighing the damage of knox and charlie.

I really dislike reading about boys obsessing over girls and their looks, but this book is still fantastic! (how could it not be, when based on such a fantastic movie?). I wanted to sob, but I was really tired (sobbed in spirit).
