I remember tearing up when I first read the book and watched the play half a decade ago - I really enjoyed the complicated dynamics between the highly flawed yet loving/kind characters throughout the story. There's less of an emotional impact upon this re-read - I found it a tad trickier to keep my attention on Christopher's stream-of-consciousness POV - but reckon it's still a worthy experience
