Few books have such beautiful lines as to make me cry and yet this book exists. Words don't exist to describe how much I adored this novella.

My mom bought me the CD version of this audiobook when I was a kid and I remember reading along while listening to the narration. I was feeling nostaligic so I relistened to it and loved it just as much as I did when I was small. The humor is dry and witty and the characters are all complex and interesting. For a mid-grade book, it delves into a lot of deep conversations and topics with a grace I appreciated.

heist books are even better than heist movies because you pick your own montage music

I enjoyed this much more than the show but watching the show first definitely helped me understand a lot of the context and plot. Very grateful for the translator for including footnotes to help with the historical side of what was happening.
