It's kind of a funny story

It's kind of a funny story

September 06, 2018 book review , 16 Comments

When I bought this book it wasn't intentional, just saw it's movie trailer and found it online at an acceptable price so, why not? It's about depression and suicide and I loved those categories. I love when books talk and dig into emotional issues. I got the book and Guess what? ??



I discovered that the author of the book Ned Vizzini committed suicide back in 2013
He had severe depression.
It's like he screamed his agony through the book. I haven't read it yet. But I think it's not just a book. It's the thoughts, feelings and pain of a man tried so hard to win his war but failed.
Maybe this book will make a difference. Maybe people will stop committing suicide. Maybe not. But by reading this book you are helping Ned and all those who quit and Giving hope for those who still fight against depression.

WE GONNA KILL THIS MONSTER
You fought hard. You deserve life but life didn't deserve you. RIP, Ned Vizzini

    Sounds sad - I just read a book where the main character called her cancerous tumor "The Monster"

      Oh, that sounds a little bit weird. What is the name of the book?

    I haven't heard of this one before and I don't often read sad things, but I feel like this is one where I should probably suck it up and read.

      The story itself isn't sad. The sad thing is the loss of people every day to this monster
