Got misty eyed reading that ending. Beautiful beautiful book. This is the book I would recommend to ANYONE - and I will be reading this again eventually way down the line. What a wonderful work of art.

Welp returning to it I can feel my memory slightly diminishing my enjoyment - and I still recognize this book is amazing. And one of the character moments pertaining to college hit WAY too close to home in some way that I've never experienced with any other media. Amazingly profound that it actually took me out of the story because it felt like a personal attack lmao

Almost lost my physical bookmark and now I am going to regularly update this so I keep track of all the pages because I don't want to start all over again. But as for the book: it is still good.

Still a GOAT book, but at the end of part 3 introduces a character way late and has an entire story arc dedicated to them - and idk, wasn't feeling it as much as I was for the other big emotional moments in the book. But everything preceding it? Oh yeah, awesome. Adam Trask is an awesome character

Very much living up to the hype my friends

Finished part one and in the middle of Part Two rn. Very good, Cathy is basically the proto-Anton Chigur. All these characters have depth, but man they really let Charlie off without any reprecussions huh.

Sky high expectations and they are being met. It has amazing prose without being show off-y. And the characters are all interesting. Just awesome
