But again, if you treat it like a popcorn flick, it's pretty entertaining. This will probably be one of those few cases where the upcoming movie will be better than the book, if they don't completely screw it up.
This would have been a 2 star book if not for Rocky, who was impossibly endearing.

This book truly left such a wonderful impression and is easily getting categorized into the books I wish I could read again with no memory and will easily be a reread-er for me.
As an additional review for the audiobook: I 100% recommend that everyone try out the audiobook either in tandem with the book or on its own. It's easily one of the best audiobooks I've ever listened to and was so masterfully done. The way that they did
