Coming of age story about a teen who has been kicked out of his latest school and his bleak outlook on life. Controversial at the time of its use of profanity but very tame compared to many current adolescent releases. Well written but the character does not have much hope for life.

Interessant war es, zu vergleichen wie Leute in meinem Alter in den 50er Jahren lebten, und wie sie jetzt leben. Es gab auch viele Gemeinsamkeiten.

Leider hat mich weder der Schreibstil noch der Plot besonders begeistert. Ich hatte das ganze Buch lang das Gefühl, dass es noch die Einleitung ist und das die Handlung bestimmt gleich losgeht. Ist sie leider nicht. 
Außerdem geht der Erzähler die ganze Zeit auf gedankliche Tangeten, was die sowieso karge Handlung noch mehr verdünnt.

Insgesamt hat es sich mehr angefühlt wie ein Buch, was man in der Schule lesen müsste, wie Midnight Driver oder so.

Verstehe den Hype ehrlich gesagt nicht, vielleicht ist es auf Storygraph aber auch nur so groß, weil Leute das für die Schule lesen müssen, was weiß ich.

I tried to read this a long time ago, but I thought it was boring. I'm really into lit fic now, and I love character driven stories, so this was right up my alley. I just found some things quite repetitive though, and that annoyed me.
