Comments:

This book has one of the most unique and hilarious voices I've read in a long time. A must for the precocious YA reader.

 Would go way over the head of a reader younger than YA.

I read this on Shoshana's recommendation, and enjoyed it a lot. It's quirky and funny, but also has serious and genuine emotional content.
