Buy 2 and give one away! The first time I read this book was before it was published (some kind of advance copy) and I've read it at least ten times since then. It really is outstanding. There is no other character like Celine anywhere.
best book in the entire world oh my god, this book was written so well you can't imagine it. there isn't any humoungous plot, it's just that everything that happens is so well described that it's like thousands of stories in one. READ IT!!!
Hilarious, poignant, memorable; my favorite! Brock Cole demonstrates an unparalleled poetry of language and an unforgettable sense of humor. A book populated thickly with absolutely realistic characters, from Celine herself to Lucile to Paul Barker. At once sad and hilarious, it ends as it should, undecided. I find myself recalling lines and situations from it often, even if I haven't read it in forever. My favorite for three years running! Deserves every single award it gets!
Read it in grade school, now 19, still think it's great. I have no idea who suggested this to me, but now a sophomore in college, I still think of this book I read in grade school as one of the finest I've ever seen. Cole's style of writing does not condescend, and his plot and characters and as complex as in any adult fiction. I loved it so much that I followed it with "The Goats," and that was consistent with my expectations.
