A great read. Charlie's coming of age is something we can all relate to (even if just a tiny facet of his journey). His story is filled with confusion, addiction, brokenness, question - and topped off with some great experiences with classic literature and music. With the screen adoption on the horizon, I'm interested to see how these essentialist characters are bought to life. If you're up for a quick, honestly portrayed insight into growing up when the world is growing up a lot faster than you, this book is for you.
