1. It was such an amazing book

I read it in two nights. I looked into acquiring the film rights, since I think it'll make an awesome movie, but Owen Wilson has already snapped them up for himself. I think he'd be perfect casting, I just hope he actually does it (and soon). So many optioned books sit on the shelf and never get made into films.
