Now him, I loved. Such a sweetheart. I could not get enough of his character. I think I marked almost everything he said. Such wonderful and smart kid. His story was heartbreaking. That little, weak body had such an enormous soul. He was the voice of reason. And a nice break from those two whiners "me, me me, boohoo, I'm ugly, my life is over". And I'm not trying to make fun of either F or A for what they went through, I just felt like those two were way too self-centered, and I liked that he pointed that out. And that scene where he asked Rita to dance was so precious. His character gets 5 easiest stars I have ever given. This is the kind of unforgettable story that sinks into your heart and doesn't let go. I can't recommend it highly enough.
