I actually picked up this book in a little free library months ago simply because I remembered really liking the movie back when I was a teen and finally got around to reading it recently. I cant believe I overlooked that book all of these years because I honestly believe it to be a masterpiece of modern literature. The games of language and words to interlace comedy and sadness is super reminiscent of Joyce's style which I absolutely adore.
I earnestly laughed out loud many times and cried once reading this.
Of course, it can be quite experimental writing and not suited for everyone but if you are open to that its a wonderful book.
