I'm 15 and reading this really helped me understand myself better (which I know is a struggle when you're a teen) and develop my own personality.

Not so much in a superior way, but like I had just figured out this little secret ahead of time and was waiting for all the other kids to catch up. Basically what I'm trying to say is (I ramble) that this book, I feel, is almost meant to be read at such a confusing age. (less)
