It's a nice read. For a first novel it's actually pretty great. But I had problems with the constant bitching of Carson... Ok, it's his diary and so on... I liked his character development and the ending was spectacular in its simplicity.
THE WRITING STYLE WAS PERFECT!!I loved this so so much !The only three things that made it 4 out 5 were1. The anti-depressants were mentioned once and then NEVER again2. The ending was a bit... well.... easy?3. WHAT HAPPENED TO THE GAY GUYS ? bruh. i need to know if they have a future.!
It started promising to read about the life of a cynical teenager these days via his private journal. But when his thoughts are protrayed this superficially, the main character simply becomes an annoying über drama queen. And as the story goes along like a mediocre high school movie (think of glee episodes) it gets even harder to like him. Of course, there are a few punchlines that might make you giggle (even though it might be wrong) and you can easily finish the book within a short time because of its sassy writing style. But in the end you may wonder what to think of it as a work of literature. I just hope that the fiction aspect isn't too close to today's reality.
