It doesn't over-reach, and thereby it winds up achieving a limited sort of perfection. It's the perfect length, never really falters and has plenty of great, memorable moments. And if you happen to be a twenty-something male it will speak to you in a pretty deep way, even if you don't want to admit it (like the library buck bus section.) <br/><br/><a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/list/76270?utm_medium=api&utm_source=blog_review">View all my reviews.</a>
