This is not a challenging read by any means. I found that the story and descriptions dragged on a bit at times, but perhaps this was also reflective of the main character’s emotions and contemplative feelings through the times.

My condolences to Ned Vizzini's friends and family. What a sad ending.


This book took forever to get into. I couldn't stand all of the teenage.."like this, like that, like like like" It got better after he was admitted and it turned out to be a good story because of the end. It makes you sad to see how much pressure kids and people put on themselves.
