 I read this 3-4 years ago and I really wanted to re-read it. It is definitely on my list of favourite books. I would give it 5 stars for the writing style alone, it's definitely not for everyone, but I really vibe with it. I had to knock the rating down a bit solely for the pages of cricket description because, despite being Australian, I have no clue how cricket works and it only ever seems boring.

I liked Charlie’s reflections on life, and the twists he and Jasper encountered as they looked for answers.

Had to read this for school it was an okay book, but it was really slow place and hard to get into.  When it finally got interesting it didn’t last more then a few pages and got boring again.
