It's been awhile since I read it, but yeah, it's a great book. When I was looking through my grandma's book collection, I found a first edition copy, and she said I could have it. But when my dad saw that I had it, he was like, "Oh, she gave that to me," and he ganked it. I'll get it back someday, though.
