wonderful characters, bursting with joy and hilarity and sadness and beauty. The dialogue is some of the best one could get in this day and age, so snappy and witty. The community and characters so lively. This book made me want to hug it which I couldn't do because I listened to the audiobook version, which was great. I do hope to read the print version as well some time and then I will hug it and kiss it and say thank you to it.
