It's Kind of a Funny Story, is actually kind of a funny story. There is a kid named Craig. Craig has been suffering from depression ever since he started at his new school that sets high standards. As I was reading this book I noticed that the author, Ned Vizzini, made out Craig's depression to not be so serious. Throughout the book, he made subtle jokes that made me laugh out loud. This book also has life lessons and it may be able to help people understand that they are not the only ones going through hard times.
What I really love is that this book is told from the authors' experiences. It makes the book feel so surreal. The way Ned Vizzini describes everything makes you feel like you are walking around as Craig, the main character. His writing is so real. most authors that write about teen depression do not really know what it is like, but Ned Vizzini did understand what it was like. I highly recommend this book to everyone because everyone goes through hard times and this book helps you understand that you are not alone.
This book sounds very interesting. I enjoy books that are true stories, so I actually might read this book. Good job!
ReplyDeleteI've read this book and you described it so well, and I, too, laughed out loud at this book! I like how you drew in the reader with reusing the title. Great response!
