Ridiculous in the best way! The story is clever and hilarious and overall surprisingly heartwarming. The BBC radio dramatisation is brilliant.

cupofnova's review against another edition

The humor wasn't for me. I'm sure someone else will enjoy it, but I didn't really care for it. I desperately wanted to like it, but I think it was over-hyped for me.

Ported over from my Goodreads:

It'd be hard to choose, but I think this is my favourite book, ever. Gloriously irreverent, packed full of jokes and humour, endlessly quotable, and able to make some quite profound points about life and philosophy when it has the time around the edges.

Graphic: Death and Eating disorder

Moderate: Homophobia, Racism, and War

Minor: Fatphobia

There is a GRAPHIC depiction of a person suffering an eating disorder. It's meant to be upsetting to make a point, but still, proceed with caution. Most of the humour still holds up, but some hasn't aged well, including several homophobic or racist remarks. Not usually outright cruel, but certainly dodgy nowadays.

Graphic: Body horror and Death

Moderate: Homophobia and Xenophobia

Homophobia listed bc the f-slur is used for humor, xenophobia bc some of the jokes about minorities are harmful stereotypes. Definitely a product of 90s sensibilities, otherwise a very hilarious and touching book.

Reading after watching the series (great adaptation), this was a great book. Still loved the characters, and I liked how the book explored more of the pieces of the story and you can see it all kind of fall together.
