I liked some parts of the book, but I got kind of tired hearing about all of his problems.  I also thought that the ending could have been better.  Overall it was well written.  Alex K.

I didn't really like this book because the main character was always very depressed, and he doesn't have a very good outlook on life.  Sara B.
