It's Kind of a Funny Story, By: Ned Vizzini

I just finished the book, It's Kind of a Funny Story. This book is about a 15-year-old named Craig Giner who suffers from depression. Craig goes to the best school in New York City but he has to work twice as hard to get by because he is not that smart. Craigs depression stops him from eating and he throws his food up after he eats it, and it also stops him from sleeping at night. One night Craig doesnt feel good and he doesn't take his medicine so he decided to try and commit sucide. At the last moment Craig decided to call the sucide hotline and they tell him to go to the closest hospital. Craig learns very important lessons at the hospital and makes new friends that understand what he's going through. I would recomend this book to everyone because it shows the struggle that a lot of people go through with depression. Read this book to find out all the lessons Craig learns at the hospital and if he makes it through his depression!
