This is the best young adult book I've ever read. I liked it much more than The Fault in Our Stars. This one is sad and tragic in it's own way but that's not what the entire story is about. I love how the narrator "collects" people's last words. That's such an interesting part of someone's life and legacy that I'd never considered before. I also appreciated the Buddhist philosophies that are sprinkled throughout the book because they go along with the narrator's "Great Perhaps" and emphasize the transition he made going to boarding school. I would recommend this book to anyone! The only other observation I had is that there was a lot of cursing/drinking/sex for a young adult book so if you're considering letting your child read it, maybe read it yourself first!
