I am horrified that I have never read this before. I can't imagine how many years of being able to re-read this I have missed.

I really, really loved it.

It is playful and dark and lyrical and melancholy. It ended just right and yet I wanted to know more. I considered flipping it over and starting it again, which I haven't done with a book since my beloved Watership Down.

I have seen the movie, but, as always, the book is significantly better. I'll be picking up a physical copy, which I don't really do much of anymore, just so I can make sure to have it on my shelf.
