This had probably the best translation of any book I’ve read (way to go, Molly Ringwald) and I really felt like the essence of the book came across accurately. The voice was a bit pretentious but the analogies were all very apt. I didn’t feel like I got to know the characters very well but I did feel like I could sympathize with their emotions.
