I heart this book. This story is sensational, I'm shocked some director hasn't scooped it up and forced some lame actor like Kevin Costner in the role. I'm glad it's still just a book. I lost my copy (again) and want to reread it. Oh well. The characters and the settings are glorious. I really adored the lead character and his crazy ass family. Perfect summer read.
