I am currently reading the book "Its Kind of a Funny Story by Ned Vizzini, This book is very deep and emotional. It is about a 15 year old boy named Craig who is going through depression, on top of the depression he is going through eating problems. Whenever Craig eats something, shortly after he throws up.
In Craig's mind he thinks his problems all started when he got into one of the best schools, executive pre-professional High School, the year before he started studying. He spent all his free time studying, in school and at home. This led him to a bit of stress, this leads him to smoking pot. After a while Craig becomes addicted to Pot, and almost everyday he goes to his friends house to hand out and smoke weed.
After all of his hard work Craig aces his test and makes it into the school. In the summer he gets a summer reading list and doesn't finish any of the books. This leads him to getting a 70 on his first test. It doesn't go uphill from here. He keeps doing bad in school and something what he calls a cycle starts. First he eats, then he throws up, then he looks at all the homework he has, then he doesn't do it, and then he can't sleep because he is wondering why he didn't do his homework. '
All in all I think that the book touches on deep topics that I can go on and on about. And I think that everyone should read this book.
