It's Kind of a Funny Story Book Review

[Synclaire]

When I first started reading this book, I was very pleased. For a day I couldn't put it down because it portrays a story about a young teen that likely resembles many of the teenage population today. Books that have close relation to my age group interest me because I compare the lives of them to me and my surrounding peers. As I said, this book started out excellent embedding great details and cliff hangers. As Craig gets into the hospital with the other adults it starts to grow more dull which is unfortunate. Craig was so incredibly stressed out due to school, friends, and trying to fit in in general. Many teens are also so overwhelmed with stress as Craig was so this book definitely has value and importance to minds of troubled children. I do enjoy this book and wish to continue reading it until the end to find out if Craig ever gets better. There are many books of the same suicidal teen genre but this one is certainly worth a read.(less)
