I liked it more than I was expecting at the start I thought it might become too crude and annoying. But i loved it especially how it explored themes like intelligence and maturity. It is a product of its time and has some dated ideas, especially about some things. But in a way I liked how it explored how young boys at the time had to mature faster.
