i loved this book. a lot more than i thought i would. so, so nice, and a surprising ending. i liked it’s message… one complaint, however: no 15 year old boy would EVER say ”...young girls with blue eyeshadow and awkward jaws”, i don’t care HOW gifted he’s supposed to be. i really liked the fact that they mentioned the main character reading “the catcher in the rye” since the narrative styles were so similar to each other. i was trying to decide who the hell he was writing these letters to, and all i can come up with is the reader. too simplistic of a guess probably.
