It's Kind Of A Funny Story
by Ned Vizzini
I committed the unpardonable sin of watching the movie before I read the book. That kind of takes away the freshness, you know? If I'd read the book first, I might have liked it better.
This book gets top ratings for the description of "cycling"--the unending circle of painful thoughts in the mind of the depressed. Also top ratings for the ending. For the stuff that comes in between--well, it just happens. There wasn't enough in the middle--dialog, description, action, anything.
