This book is great, and the movie is too. Lots of memorable scenes quoted directly from the source. As an enthusiast of the Western genre as well as a supporter of Miyazaki-esque strong young girls in fiction, I think this book crushes it.

An unbelievably relatable novel that everyone should probably read, so much better than the movies have ever done justice to.
