I'm fully convinced that if I could rate this book any higher, I would. This book ruined me. I've never read any book as fast as I've read this in my life. Our main character Charlie is the sweetest boy in all of existence. He's so wonderfully written that you feel motherly towards him, and yet relate to him all at the same time. Not to mention, he has the music taste of a guardian angel with a heart of gold. I'll probably read this again. It has a feeling to it like no other. A disturbing contemporary for sure, but worthy of the modern classic distinction.
