When I read it I didn't know what happened later to our dear author, and I thought the book put a hopeful spin on depression. Knowing that after the fact, the book is based on the author's true story and what happened to Ned later on made me really sad. Vizzini's life did not end at the end of the book, Craig's happily ever after does not apply to real life. In Vizzini's case, depression won. (less)
