I was too young to get it on first read. Somewhat unfortunately, I think maybe now I'm not.

I don't have a structured review, just some personal thoughts. This is probably the fifth or sixth time I've this book since I was a teenager, and it hits me in a different set of feels every time. There's so much going on; young people feeling shoved into new roles they don't feel ready for, older people reflecting on paths not taken (but still taking new ones!), further diverse generational conflicts, the dangers of style over substance, comedy subplots, tragedy subplots, Shakespeare jokes, dick jokes (well, same thing really) and on top of it all a multiverse concept that doesn't metastasise and ruin the wider series' universe, I'm looking at you, Marvel. I'm sure I'll get to this one again at some point.
