This book. This book made me laugh. It made me cry. It made me so angry. And it made me feel peaceful at times. Some parts didn't age well. But I could see past it. After seeing the movie starring a young Jack Nicholson at least three times, I knew I needed the experience the book could bring. And it didn't disappoint!!

Most of the time when I connect with a book I feel like I leave a piece of my soul with it when I finish. This book I feel like I got a new piece, it is not a piece that I necessarily want but this book still gave it to me.
