don’t hate the story, but the telling of it was so boring

I thoroughly enjoyed this book. I think it may be the closest to a whodunnit that I have read so read. I was so curious to pieces things together. But it was really enjoyable and easy to read.

Honestly, it was boring. The only action you get is towards the ending, even though the final conclusion didn't really explain things through. The character-narrator, was an okay character, but I really can't understand how teenagers could think that philosophically about life and all. It just wasn't real. So, even though it was a short book, it was kind of hard to read, so 2 out od 10.
