I....don’t even know where to begin....
I’ve had this book for five or six years and never got around reading until now and I’m glad I didn’t!! Otherwise I feel like I wouldn’t have loved it as much as I do now and I wouldn’t have beed able to understand it in such depth.

Wow....just wow. My heart is shattered, it’s all over the floor, I’m an emotional mess and I ain’t even sorry. Is this the best book I have ever read? Most likely yes.
It is so well written it baffles me. The attention to details is oustanding and I think it played such an important role in building the main character. I’m usually very critical in this direction and this time I don’t really have much to criticise.

Probably the things that left the biggest mark on me, were the mental, emotional and physical abuse coming from his mother (and his sister) and all the mocking he had to endure from other people. Man, that had me in tears many times...and the fact that Charlie was able to forgive them all despite everyting they put him through, literally broke me.

This book is a freaking masterpiece. I can’t even gather my thoughts well enough to write a longer, more detailed review so that’s where I rest my case. I recommend this with all my heart.
