I loved this book because I hated it so much. The main character is soooo manic pixie dream girl and an idiot and Ed has the emotional range of a teaspoon. I'm not sure if it's intended to be satire but I read it as such and found it hilarious. But also kind of sad cause what girl hasn't fallen for a jerk who we thought was more complex than we thought?

Sin duda, las ilustraciones son de lo mejor de la novela, así como la original manera de narrar que tiene Daniel Handler, pero sus larguísimos párrafos se hacen muy pesados, así como los personajes y la historia que resulta un tanto insulsa.

I don't care that this book got a bunch of poor ratings. I read it straight through, all of it in one sitting (it's 2:27am currently), and it is perfect to me. P.S. After reading some more reviews, I think a big part of why I like the book so much is because, for better or for worse, I like and understand and identify with Min. So there you go.

Couldn't get myself to like the main character which thoroughly ruined this book for me. She victimizes herself constantly and keeps talking about fictional movies that no reader would care about. I liked the paintings in here though. Overall, I'm glad I finished it.

Really enjoyed the story but didn't love the writing. Really feel like I should reread.

Shit, man! Some parts of this book are so good! There's something authentic in here: maybe the hand-wringing feeling of embarrassment, because these kids are idiots and you were an idiot in the exact same way. I could identify with so much of it, and that was good. That's why I finished this book. I didn't love it, though, because this goddamn second person past tense thing was so monotonous that it made me dizzy. I cannot count the number of paragraphs that referred to something- an item, a feeling, a quote of dialogue, that I had completely forgotten about. iIm not the best with memory, but sometimes in the middle of those hairy sentences full of stops and pauses I would have to go far back to find out what the hell the subject of the sentence was. It's worth the trouble, but I think the editor of this book dropped the ball in regards to clarity. Maira Kalman's art is lovely, by the way.

I really enjoyed this book, and the illustrations/drawings throughout were a nice touch too! 4/5⭐️
