Words on Bathroom Walls by Julia Walton

5.0

I read it in less than a day, so I suppose that means I liked it. I struggled with whether to give it a 4 or a 5, but only because I wish things were not so tidy in the end. I'm a lover of the open-ended end, as it were, where I get to decide the future of the book.

Aside from this, however, my tears, my sobs, my aching heart would indicate that this was a very well done book. Very. The chronicle of his experiences and feelings and thoughts gave me the "he's speaking to me" feeling while reading and I loved that. Adam is a wonderful character, too...not wholly lovable or attractive in the traditional sense, but I found myself wanting to grab and hug him so many times. I just love him. I just love his ability to memorize stuff and detach in a way that is clearly not detached and speak about himself as other than himself...he's just so well-crafted a character. I love him.

And I laughed a lot with this book. A lot!!! Dwight's name, the doctor's clothes, Ian naked in the hall? That's genius!!! I am a big fan of this book!
