I read the book, I think based on a recommendation from here, and enjoyed it. It will be interesting to see how the movie translates.

There is no fixing stupid. But, you can line it up in front of a wall and offer it a last smoke.
There is no such thing as a "transgender" person. Only mental illness that should be discouraged.

For the invisible things of him since the creation of the world are clearly seen, being perceived through the things that are made, even his everlasting power and divinity, that they may be without excuse. Because knowing God, they didn’t glorify him as God, and didn’t give thanks, but became vain in their reasoning, and their senseless heart was darkened. Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools.

I watched it, I didn't read the book, and I'm glad I didn't grow up like him or have parents with substance abuse. Glenn Close did a great job as grand ma and Amy Adams did a good job as an addict single mom.
