Just absolutely beautiful. Probably my favourite book I have ever read, although I say that about most the books I read, but I really do think this will be a book I will re-read many times and will continue to love because of how much depth the author is able to give the characters in so few words. 
I finished it in less than two days, would have happily done it in one, but was doing school work. 
I see myself in Charlie so much it’s a little scary if I’m completely honest. The book describes near perfectly the experiences of a person who observes rather than interacts; Charlie is a great character who is representation for all of us who never quite understood who we are or what we are meant to do.
