-im going to make my parents buy and read "its kind of a funny story" and then they might just know how teenagers work and the stress they go through. sometimes i just dont think they understand.
-I liked the change of pace as far as “problems” go. Craig is an overachiever but he’s not nerdy.
-I loved that Craig took charge and checked himself in. Too many people don’t ever get the help they really need.
-Never having been around psych patients, I thought the author did a very good job of writing about and depicting psych problems.
-The author did a great job of getting the reader into Craig’s head with all the pressure. I almost felt like having a panic attack with everything he had to deal with.
-I didn’t know it until after I read the book but the author was in a psych hospital for a while. After getting out, he wrote this book in about a month. Knowing the author has experienced some of the problems adds to his credibility.
-Even though there are a lot of serious issues here in this book, you can't help but laugh. The people Craig encounters in the ward aren't anything like his friends from school. Craig tries to maintain normal ties with his pals while there, but they don't quite work out. His voice is very honest, and he's not afraid to share the details of a high-stress high school life, including sex, drugs and Egyptian popular music. Read it and weep. Or laugh. Maybe both :))))
