So I just read it. It wasn't a very long or difficult read at all -- I read it in three sittings -- but I really liked it.
Have any of you guys read it?
Did you like it?
What were your thoughts on it?

I've read it, but I didn't think it was as great as everyone made it out to be. Don't get me wrong it's a good book, just a tad over-rated.

I've wanted to read it for a while, but it's not on the top of my list. If and when I do buy it, I'll get buying the one with the original cover. :P

I really liked it, if I hadn't seen the movie before I read it then I would have been surprised at how serious some parts were. I wouldn't be in a rush to re-read it, but it was still pretty good :P

I am in the process of reading it. Its actually right next to me right now. However with recent exams coming up most of my free time is spent on exam prep. So I don't exactly know when I'll be finished. I'll post/edit this post with an update when I have read the entire thing.

I am currently reading it, and I love it so far. I've been so busy with school and exams lately so I don't know when I will be able to catch up.

I read it a while ago it is tied as my favorite book with "The Chosen". The characters and events mean so much more to me then it does to most people I think. It was just a great book.

I've read it and might I just say, it was my favorite book I've ever personally read. If anyone has not read it, they should.

I haven't seen the movie yet D: I really want to though. Does it do the book good justice?

I've read it and am currently re-reading. I loved it and its probably my favorite book, I find it easy to relate to the characters and what's going on

It's changed a bit, and I would say the book is better, but I enjoyed the movie quite a lot.

I saw the movie before I read the book, and to be honest I loved both! The movie does the book justice and then some. Of course, I'm sure it helps that the author both wrote and directed the film as well, so it's 100% his vision!

Is this the book that mentions the song "Asleep"? Either way, I want to read it. I have no idea what it's about but a lot of people say it's good.

Just finished it. I didn't really get into it until about chapter 2 to be honest and that's quite a way into the book. I think the layout of the book with the letters, especially near the start when Charlies grammar and sentences, was really hard to read. It got easier as I got used to it though.
I honestly didn't think the story line would be anything I would be interested in. I hadn't heard anything about it other than Emma Watson was in the film. It's a really thought provoking story with the topics that were involved but it made for a good read in the end. I got so confused in the epilogue though which reminds me I should go and look that up. Only took me about 4/5 hours to read in the end, although that includes reading about 50 pages over again. I should really see the film now.

Yeah, it talks about that song quite a bit in various parts. It's the main character's favorite song.
