One of my favourite books of all time. I read it in university and I have been moved by it ever since. I never saw the movie adaptation, I didn't want to ruin it. It's a must read in my opinion and may just change your entire faith or philosophy.

There were times that I thought some editing could’ve s helped, admittedly. After all, it’s 1155 pages! But overall, it was the funniest sad story I’ve ever read, and it was brilliantly done. It was a deeply satisfying read.
