I decided to revisit this favorite from my tween and teen years. I believe I got up to «The Quillian Games» before not finishing because of school and such. At 30 it's heartwarming to come back to this. I thought it'd be healing for my inner child and it is.  

I feel I'll edit this review later but I did see Bobby a bit different. Some small narration comments about certain people's appearance whether "exotic" or "grotesque" but it /was/ made in 2002. Nothing major imo just some "hmmm there was a better way to do that"'s. 

Bobby I can now sympathize with a bit more but also got annoyed with him at certain points. It was an interesting comparison to what I first thought of him years ago.
