I'm not a very big reader but I must say that this book was simply amazing. Despite all the depressing parts, the ending is definatly worth it. I was eager to read more the whole time I was reading the book and would definatly recommend it. To anyone that gave up on the book half way, continue reading, you will not be disappointed.

Gosh could you get any more depressing?! Seriously though. Any more meloncholiness and it would have been boring, but it had just enough. It was ok. It actually had a pretty emotional plot and all.

This book looked ok so I tried it. But Bryan was really depressing and just when I thought it would get a little happier, he ruined it. Like he would do something that made his mother upset and then walk away, thinking how she was having a hangover or something. I didn't end up finishing it since it was too sad. Apparently, the ending is happy so I think I'll skip to there the next time I see this book.

A bit confusing but it really showed teens how to deal with problems in their lives (y)

SUch a great book! i felt for Bryan , i was soo disapointent in him when he did cocaine! glad he turned things around tho . . . i think it's a graet example for teens who have these problems in their lives. They can know that they are not alone!

This book is a really good book it teaches you the right things and makes you go on the right path. And thats a good thing.

I am halfway through the book and it definitely has grasped my attention and i am determined to finish. Some content can be somewhat gruesome and unbearable but it still is a good read so far.

The Perfect Cut Video Review

White pine!!

Funny Pug Puppy

Very Funny! See how much trouble one little dog can cause when an author tries to do a serious reading. Serious book, funny not-serious video.
