I wanted it to be good, but it just wasn't my cup of tea. It was very predictable, especially the ending.

I read this book at camp, it was a cute book. This was a really easy read for me, but it was fun. A good read if you want something quick ands easy.

A weird read. Read this years ago when I was in high school. I think they were eating french fries at the diner and there was a robber? or a disgruntled employee? Then this guy got really sick and he thought he was dying? Honestly. Teenagers these days, right.
I don't remember much about this book but I guess it was okay-ish. Lost the copy eons ago.

This book was ok. The way the characters acted was really annoying to me alot of the time.

Ok, but not spectacular. Some of the character's weren't really consistent - particularly Mark.

So I was reading this book, right? And I was thinking, "Damn! This is the best book I've read all year! Maybe, maybe it's tied with David LaRochelle's Absolutely, Positively Not, but other than that it is the BEST, for sure."
And it still is, almost. The problem is the ending, which is horrifically predictable and even more horrifically executed. I don't necessarily mind predictable endings as long as they're written well and fit nicely with the rest of the book. This ending I minded. I foresaw it, but then it went beyond what I foresaw with a level of suckitude of which I would have never imagined such an amazing author was capable.
At least, I call the author amazing because the first four-fifths of the book absolutely blew me away. I can't remember the last time I've been so sucked in by a book. This book was like one big giant vacuum. I wanted to read it all the time. I actually considered (CONSIDERED, okay? That's all!) attempting to read the book at the same time I was driving back to Honesdale from Rochester, NY. I couldn't get enough of it.
Then there was the ending. Too bad.
But even the ending wasn't enough to ruin such a mostly magnificent book. Do yourself a favor and read one of the best, most true-to-life, and funniest YA books I've ever read.
