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.

Content Warnings
Graphic: Death, Eating disorder
Moderate: Homophobia, Racism, 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.
