Okay so being older I now understand how problematic the book and film are, yet for the 3/4 years since I first watched the film, it has been my comfort film that I always go back to. Finally reading the book was so much better than I ever anticipated, the writing and details were beautiful. Even though it's so messed up I do think it will forever be one of my favourite books because of the amount of attachment I hold to it.
