I generally enjoyed the book. Perhaps it was how I read it - it was required for my 8th grade English class -, but I feel like I might have enjoyed it more had I had better circumstances to read it under. Nonetheless, it is a very heartfelt and deep story. My favorite character was definitely Johnny - I love a good character-development. Overall, would recommend to someone who likes morals and angstier(?) stories about living in a difficult situation.

And I kind of spoiled myself by looking up clips from the film version, which was something I really should have avoided doing.
But ultimately I felt that the ending saved it.
Sorry this review is a bit weird, I'm typing it from my phone, I might update it at a later date.
