It's Kind of a Funny Story

Sorry guys! busy weekend! Blizzcon was this weekend and i rocked it out watching both days. new world of warcraft expansion is coming out. its going to be sweet.

Anyway, as far as my book reviewing is going, this weekend i read a novel by one of my favorite people in the world, Ned Vizzini.

here is a brief discription of the first part of the book.

"Craig, the narrator, is 15, and lives with his family in an upper-middle class Brooklyn neighborhood. He just started attending a very gifted, superior high school, for which he has studied very hard to gain admission. Now he is overwhelmed by the academic pressures there. He has poor appetite, purges his stomach, and sleeps poorly due to stressful nighttime thoughts which he calls "cycling." His best friend has introduced him to smoking marijuana at the friend's home; Craig, who is shy and nerdy and has never dated, is also jealous that this friend has a steady girl. Craig sees counselors and is taking medication, but feels improved and decides to stop medicating, but shortly afterward considers suicide by jumping off the Brooklyn Bridge. " (Wikipedia)

I would suggest this book! 10/10 stars!
