I didn't quite love it, but I definitely enjoyed and appreciated it. It's everything I remembered it to be--I read it for school way back in jr. high--and more. Reading it in my 40's certainly lends the story far more weight than it did as a middle school kid.
It's darkly funny, deeply sad, and feels almost too true in some ways. This might be one of the few books that I think everyone should read if they get the chance.
