Hilarious and heartbreaking and horrible all at once. My sister read it some years ago - it gave her nightmares and she refuses to read it again, but I dug my old copy out of the back of the bookshelf today because Mum wanted to borrow it. Read it again myself after she did - it's such a painful read. I never quite know, when I'm done with it, if I feel more gratitude or anger.

Those two main characters... they're such normal people. Inoffensive. It seems so unfair.
