"I read this while my mother was ill, dying from cancer, and she decided to try to read it as well. We often shared books and music and so forth, but she couldn’t get through it because it was just too personal and too real. She had to put that book down; it’s pretty sad.”"

"The making-of documentary on this DVD is one of my all-time favorites. When I first started watching special features, often the making-of documentaries would be for gigantic, complicated movies like The Matrix or Fight Club. Watching a small, personal, character-driven film be made was quite a fascinating revelation to me."
