That was terrible. To the point it was ridiculous.
In fact now that I have read it I can’t even comprehend what made me pick this up in the first place? Even the idea itself sounded kinda wrong with me. No, I didn’t set the expectations high, but that was some new level of inanity. Such an arduous read. I used to love Melvin Burgess, but now I’ll need to reconsider it all.
Generally I don’t criticise others for their opinions on certain books, but this time I’m seriously disturbed -
those who gave this one 5 stars, yes, you weirdos, don’t you dare to go near me.

An original story that tells a lot about ordinary life and the frustrations of a teenager. It inspires us to think about the meaning of life.
