A good translator isn’t just translating words; they’re rebuilding style, humor, and emotional register from scratch in a completely different language. 

This book is one of those rare Bildungsroman novels that feels both intimate and devastating. I felt all the emotions despite the almost childlike and simple language Chbosky uses.

Only a psychologist who has done an in-depth study on human beings could write such a masterpiece of a book.

This book gave off the feeling of an old English movie even as the characters came alive in my subconscious as I read.
