This was one of the sweetest books I've ever read. I've heard other readers call it a hug in book form and I couldn't agree more. The characters are so loveable, the story is so heartwarming (without being sacarine), the goofy humor is just right, in a way that reminds me of the sweeter Neil Gaiman's or Terry Pratchett's stories. I ended up crying some much needed tears while finishing it, too. I think I will definitely reread this one whenever I need a comfort read.
