    *raises hand* I’m one of those people who couldn’t help themselves and have already read through the entire book. xD Probably was not the wisest decision, since I likely forgot a lot of the finer details, but again, I couldn’t help it.

    I think the main reason why I wanted to root for the trio was because they faced a lot of cruel, unfair adversity that really spoke to my sense of justice. Especially whenever people who called themselves Christians and attended church acted so outright cruel and hypocritical to Jess and Dickie. I got a very un-Christian desire to punch those individuals in the face.

    @caseybold – Hmm, that’s interesting, because I didn’t feel like Matt was snooty at all. He came across as genuinely wanting to befriend them even though no one else did, which to me made it feel very special. But I’m doubting myself now, because I definitely agree with you about the whole deal with Earl. I won’t say anything more about it, so as not to give anything away. 😉
