It's Kind of a Funny Story, pgs 1-30

So far this story is about a teenager named Craig who does not seem satisfied with his life and is confused. He is always depressed but he really is not sure why he feels that way. Craig feels guilt for spend putting his family through what he feels and having them pay for a psychiatrist. Most of the beginning of the book is Craig talking to his doctor. We find out that Craig is a little odd, for example he finds comfort in peeing. It is relaxing for him and is a time to think. Craig talks with his psychiatrist about what he wanted to be when he grew up back when he was a younger, when he was happy. He wanted to be a mapmaker. He found comfort in creating his own cities. Once he got to the age nine though he started to find comfort in video games. Even enjoyed watching other people play video games.

The book is okay so far and I have not read enough  to know if I will like it. It is a really easy read and I will soon find out if it is worth reading the rest of the book. Craig is a very interesting person and seems like he is very lost. He wants to succeed but has many things in his life that are holding him back. Hopefully he is able to figure out whats wrong with him and can become a more happier person.

  1. I'm in the middle of this book right now and it gets really weird, in my opinion. But it's really interesting. Just F.Y.I.
