2.0

It's really difficult to listen to the main character's inner thoughts and dialogue. He is sometimes logical, sometimes jumps to conclusions, sometimes totally irrational, etc. Perhaps this was intended to get into the mind of a character his age; however, I found it really annoying and was prone to whiplash.

5.0

Literally beautiful, shows the highs and lows of human life and the spirit it takes to grow and change in a world that is so messed up. Let’s you learn that people make mistakes and say the wrong things but everyone deserves to be okay and to get help. Our meaningless lives aren’t meaningless to us or the people around us and this crafted that narrative beautifully.

3.25; Objectively, this is a good story and it was written very well. I see why so many people love it and why it means so much to them, and I understand it can be especially important to those who’ve read it during specific times in their life. But subjectively it was hard for me to read because it was so incredibly bleak and depressing, and I didn’t enjoy that.
