Over the weekend after finishing Allegiant, I started reading "It's Kind of a Funny Story" by Ned Vizzini. Something about the interesting cover captured my attention, however it wasn't what I was expecting. I guess this is what I get for not reading the inside flap!!
The opening scene is Craig simply hanging out with his friends. The first person writing technique makes me think that this book will be more about the character and his inner conflict instead of a man vs. man conflict. At first, Craig seems like an average person, until he introduces his brain, which is deep and dark. He struggles with depression but refuses to let anyone know because of his pride.
Although I'm not that far into the book, the author has done a great job of setting up the plot.
There is a movie version of this book and in my next post I will link a preview and hopefully will have seen it by then so I can do some comparing and contrasting like I intend to with "Catching Fire" when it comes out.
Happy blogging!
