My 8th grade teacher reccomend this to me a long time ago. I had totally hated reading for years because most of it was assigned by teachers and in subjects I wasn't interested in. My teacher must have known I was gay even before I did because this was the perfect book for me to read and reflect on. I really love the journey the character goes on and the inclusion of philosophy as part of it. Not many people would think to write a coming of age story for a gay teen who things about Socrates a lot. Anyway, huge fan. A book I'm glad to have sitting on my bookshelf.
