Relation In Pursuance Of Books It's Kind of a Funny Story

Ambitious New York City teenager Craig Gilner is determined to succeed at life - which means getting into the right high school to get into the right job. But once Craig aces his way into Manhattan's Executive Pre-Professional High School, the pressure becomes unbearable. He stops eating and sleeping until, one night, he nearly kills himself.

Craig's suicidal episode gets him checked into a mental hospital, where his new neighbors include a transsexual sex addict, a girl who has scarred her own face with scissors, and the self-elected President Armelio. There, Craig is finally able to confront the sources of his anxiety.

Ned Vizzini, who himself spent time in a psychiatric hospital, has created a remarkably moving tale about the sometimes unexpected road to happiness.

Comment On Out Of Books It's Kind of a Funny Story

It's Kind of A Great Book

A book that deals with teen depression and mental illness. Its a tough topic to tackle, but the author managed to blend some light humour in with the dark issues dealt within this book.

I actually books that deal with psychological issues.Was it relatable? It was. It dealt with depression quite a bit. Even had suicidal thoughts at some point.

I'm so happy I finally read this book! It's been recommend to me for YEARS and I have no idea why I've been putting it off for so long. I loved the way this book captured depression and suicidal idealization. I really resonated with Craig's story. He really spoke to me and his journey of growth was very inspirational in my opinion. I also feel it had a more positive view of inpatient treatment/crisis intervention. A lot of YA books that approach this topic go the route of showing it as an
