Beschreibung

Inspired by real events, this brilliantly original fusion of novel, comic book, and film script is a celebration of the transience of life and the eternal difficulty of love, and a hilarious riff on our 21st-century infatuation with movies and the superhero solution
Donald Delpe is a troubled teenager. Not only is he a "terrible teen" by default, as obsessed with sex, music, videogames, and drugs as the rest of his gang, but he is also suffering from a life-threatening form of leukemia, which makes him an even more difficult boy, both for his parents and his teachers. Escaping into his own comic book realm of immortal superheroes, ruthless villains, and sex-crazed vamps, he repeatedly dashes his family's hopes by refusing to fight the battles facing him in the real world. As famous psychologist Dr. King is brought in to help, a glimmer of hope is rekindled. But will the doctor break the rules, betray the parents' trust, and risk everything to help Donald achieve his greatest wish? Or will Donald be the one to save the doctor?

I am struggling with how to review this book. I was struggling with the style (even though i read it pretty fast), which sometimes took something away from connecting with the characters. At one point i nearly gave up though because i had the feeling there was no point behind all the focus on 'losing the virginity' as the most important thing for Don. Though there were also parts that made me cry. I did not feel as connected to the characters as i usually do with books like this though. I was also a bit annoyed with Adrian at times and that he really needed a kid to figure out what might be wrong with his current life (it was not that hard to see? IDK). Overall though i would say it was a good book, though i can see not getting into it because the writing style is very different from usual ones and reads more like a screen play most of the times.
