I tried my best to get into this book. But its a little depressing reading about the kid's life and how he feels about himself. I got to chapter 22 and didn't really come across anything that was funny. So I had to stop reading. I've read reviews from people who say they can relate to characters & the book overall makes them realize there's hope. But if you ask me, the book made me a little more depressed. I couldn't even keep reading. It made me realize, maybe I am a little messed up & should probably admit myself into a psych ward too. Overall, I don't like it. I couldn't find the funny, or the hope after reading halfway through the book, so I gave up.
