I read this when it first came out, and it went completely over my head. I was just too young to get any of the messages, but I've read it again recently, and god, it truly is a wonderful book. It's such a tragic and touching human experience that you can't help but empathize with the main character. Beautifully written and easy to read, the book is a truly impactful read.
