Words cannot describe how I feel about this book right now! First of all, I watched this movie back when it came out and it's one of my favorite movies! I'll have to watch it again this weekend and then write a comparison piece for you all, but yeah. I had no idea if the book was going to be that go...
Door alle postieve reviews van mijn goodreads vrienden heb ik besloten dit boek te lezen, maar ik was eerlijk gezegd teleurgesteld..De psychiatrische kliniek leek wel een 4 sterren hotel, ik bedoel.. een rookruimte, pokeravonden, en Craig die een flinke make-out sessie had met maar liefst 2 meisjes ...

But once Craig aces his way into Manhattan's Executive Pre-Professional High School, the pressure becomes unbearable. He stops eating an...
I love how truthful this book is in shedding light on how some people cope with mental illness. It avoids over-dramatizing and glamorizing anxiety and depression, which I’ve noticed many books tend to do. There is a lot of humor, but it still communicates how serious these issues are. Craig's relati...
I've read quite a few coming-of-age novels, and this one starts off in pretty much the same way. Lonely teenager is stressed and nothing seems to be going right. The difference here, and it's a fairly big one, is that the main character is suffering from depression.The depiction of an adult psychiat...
It's so difficult to review a book when you have such a personal connection to it. I have a feeling that a lot of people have a personal connection to this book.Fifteen-year-old Craig is like a lot of teenagers. He's stressed out, failing to keep up with the demands of a tough school, and feeling th...
2 starsLooks like I'm minority here. I found that I didn't enjoy It's Kind of a Funny Story and I didn't find it funny it all. I didn't like the writing style either. Despite that, I liked reading Craig's therapy sessions because it pricked my curiosity. I wanted to know what thoughts he'd reveal to...
The thing is, there's a lot about this book that I liked very much. How it's a probably fairly accurate depiction of what depression can be like, but also playfully told, beautifully written, enjoyable. That's a huge thing to do.But then. Half of the book is crappy romance, and/or Craig demonstratin...
I wasn't sure what to think of the book before I started it. It sounded quite awesome after I read the blurb, and after reading the book, I now know for sure, this book is epic!Craig was a wonderful character. I loved how strong he was, calling a hotline when everything goes bad and also sticking to...
