4.5
This was my 44th book finished in 2025.
This was a funny little story! I've previously seen the film adaptation, but I preferred the book. It was both funny and sad. I liked the setting and how it was tied into history.
My only complaint is that certain side characters just disappeared from the story without a trace - what happened to Benjamin's mum and dad? His wife? I could definitely read a longer version of this. Very interesting and unique.
