Gah, I love this book sooo much!!! And listening to Joel bring Charlie and Travis, Ma & George, and the rest of the cast to life was so wonderful. I just adore Charlie. I forgot how emotional I got over this book- when Charlie starts thinking of his life 5, 10, 50 years from now, he just about killed me! And the last chapter and a half just about did me in! Not a good idea to be driving and listening at that point- Joel knocked it out of the ballpark as Charlie.
