Determined to succeed at life -- getting into the right high school to get into the right college to get the right job -- Craig studies night and day to ace the entrance exam, and does. That's when things start to get crazy. <P>At his new school, Craig realizes that he's just average, and maybe not even that. He soon sees his once-perfect future crumbling away. The stress becomes unbearable and Craig stops eating and sleeping -- until, one night, he nearly kills himself. <P>Craig's suicidal episode gets him checked into a mental hospital, where his new neighbors include a transsexual sex addict, a girl who has scarred her own face with scissors, and the self-elected President Armelio. There, isolated from the crushing pressures of school and friends, Craig is finally able to confront the sources of his anxiety. <P>Ned Vizzini, who himself spent time in a psychiatric hospital, has created a moving tale about depression, that's definitely a funny story. 240980 2006 It's Kind of a Funny Story total:1389|5:522|4:505|3:274|2:66|1:22| 1389 5606 2183 279 248704 078685197X 9780786851973 1315 258 4.04 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1173122878m/248704.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/248704.It_s_Kind_of_a_Funny_Story 4 11 false Sat Apr 18 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Sun Apr 05 00:19:26 -0700 2009 Mon Jun 15 10:34:37 -0700 2009 angst.
