Description Toward Books It's Kind of a Funny Story

Ambitious New York City teenager Craig Gilner is determined to succeed at life - which means getting into the right high school to get into the right job. But once Craig aces his way into Manhattan's Executive Pre-Professional High School, the pressure becomes unbearable. He stops eating and sleeping until, one night, he nearly kills himself. Craig's suicidal episode gets him checked into a mental hospital, where his new neighbors include a transsexual sex addict, a girl who has scarred her own face with scissors, and the self-elected President Armelio. There, Craig is finally able to confront the sources of his anxiety. Ned Vizzini, who himself spent time in a psychiatric hospital, has created a remarkably moving tale about the sometimes unexpected road to happiness.

Judge Containing Books It's Kind of a Funny Story

Everybody has problems. Some people just hide their crap better than others.Craig Gilner is a fifteen-year-old Brooklynite whos spent the past year waiting for The Shift to take place. Up until a year ago he wasnt an insomniac, could hold down more than four bites of food, didnt break out in cold sweats, could finish his sentences, and didnt have cycling thoughts about committing suicide.Through a series of events, Craig finds himself in the adult wing of the local psychiatric hospital where he

It took me a while to finish, but I liked it.Full review to come!

my immediate reaction after reading this: its kind of a funny boring story. oh boy. i cant help but feel a bit let down by this. throw in some guilt to the emotional mix and you have me not wanting to write this review. first things first - i understand that this book was written the month after vizzini spent some time in a psychiatric hospital and was based on his own experiences there (hence my guilt for rating this so poorly). i do think that was an asset to the story, as it really portrayed

A solid 4.5/5 stars. After reintroducing reading for pleasure into my life in 2017, I came to discover that I enjoy contemporary novels with thought-provoking dialogues, complex social issues, comedic elements, and witty characters, so this book sounded perfect and it was. When I was 18-years-old, I was going through what could be considered an early quarter-life crisis I was uncertain, insecure and ill-prepared for the competitive and rigorous academic environment at my college. At that time,

A book that deals with teen depression and mental illness. Its a tough topic to tackle, but the author managed to blend some light humour in with the dark issues dealt within this book. I guess knowing that the author committed suicide himself made this book feel a little more morose. I only wish he took his own advice and listened to his own last words written in this book. 3 sad stars.

Im just going to put this out there, in case you have the preconceived notion - like I did - that this book is supposed to be a hilarious, slap-knee comedy about being a depressed teenager on the brink of suicide: this book really isnt that funny, and I seriously wish it hadnt been so desperate to be. To an extent, this book is enjoyable, even credible. Within the first 100 pages of this book, the MC-underdog Greg Heffley Craig Gilner won my heart with his realistic voice, and the portrayal of
