It's Kind of a Funny Story. Indeed.



I literally just closed the book and I am bubbling over with excitement at how great it was. 
At some points I felt like I was being dragged through the mud when Craig felt like he was in the lowest points of his life and I felt like I was on the highest point of a roller-coaster when he experienced his high’s. 
I found that I could relate so well to Craig in so many different ways, especially with his social anxiety on top of the depression, I just never had wanted to take things as far as considering suicide. 
Ned Vizzini, thank you.

  3. Yeah, it was pretty amazing. I read it in three days, but if I didn't have work then it would have gotten done sooner. I now want to read more of his books.

  5. I had to Google this to learn about it. The book sounds fascinating. My most recent kick involves novels that follow a person's personal growth...bonus points if it's a tragicomedy. It's Kind Of A Funny Story sounds akin to The Perks of Being A Wallflower...and I looove Perks.

    1. Well then Shane you will LOVE this book, I especially loved the last page, it ends the book nicely and it makes you want to be a better person. Also, don't finish the book at night on a weekday because then all of the feelings you get become wasted by going to bed.
      I think you'll enjoy it :)

    2. I just downloaded a sample of it to my Kindle. You have me convinced. It's only $7 on the store and I think that's more than reasonable. Speaking of which, weren't you looking for an e-reader or tablet?

    3. Sweet! Yes I was actually, I have a Kindle already but it doesn't have the ability to read in the dark and stuff and that's kind of what I want.

Thank you for leaving me an assorted thought of your own. :)
