Customer Reviews

An Old Friend

I have read this book every year since 1984. I love this book. The characters are quirky, flawed, and deep. There is so much comedy and humanity in this little novel. Best young adult/teen novel ever written!

Pardon Me, You're Stepping on My Eyeball!

A wonderful story of a girl who never gives up on her friend no matter how crazy he seems. The stuff from which true friendship is made... I read this book as a teenager, and have recently re-added it to my collection for my son to read when he is old enough.

Funny, yet touching

This book kept me laughing, yet it also explores the human mind. An awesome book, which I'd reccomend to anybody who didn't have a fear of strange titles. =)

One of my all-time favorite books

I admit that I am getting a little old for young adult novels. I found this book at a rummage sale, because the title caught my eye... I started to read and and couldn't put it down. Zindel's words flow beautifully, and are spiced with all sorts of quirks. the ending was perfect, wrapping up everything but still believable and not cheesey. I highly recommend this book, and I don't say that often

A very good book

This was a great book. It dealt with two people that needed help and they got that help from each other. Very touching
