Jason bought me the BEST gift for my birthday - tickets to see a Broadway performance of Phantom of the Opera. On February 15, we spent the evening downtown Chicago at the Cadillac Palace Theater. I could spend days talking about how romantic, enjoyable, and thrilling our evening was, but I'll simply say that it was perfect.  |

The book itself was great. It was a quick read, and Ned Vizzini completely pulled me into his style of writing. This would be great for high school students ( I wouldn't go any lower than that).
As I'm writing this, I JUST came across this information: Ned Vizzini, 32, Dies: Wrote Teenage Novels. I hate to say this, but I feel extremely angry. Vizzini, who wrote books about teenage struggles and held help groups for depressed teens, goes ahead and takes his own life? Look at the weakness! Look at the hypocrisy, the irony of this situation! I feel almost gypped for falling into his lies.
Anyway, aside from this, I believe that Vizzini had a true passion and talent, so I highly recommend this book.
