An incredibly original and beautiful tour-de-force... This novel about one summer and two 14-year-old boys is comic and tender, humorous and sad, tragic and happy. The humor ranges from the gentle chuckle on almost every page to the belly laugh. The word 'classic' must be used sparingly, if at all. But this reviewer was sorely tempted to name it exactly that. -- New York Times
