Be More Chill by Ned Vizzini

emotional funny reflective fast-paced
  • Plot- or character-driven? A mix
  • Strong character development? It's complicated
  • Loveable characters? No
  • Diverse cast of characters? It's complicated
  • Flaws of characters a main focus? Yes

3.0

 
What it's about: A teen boy installs a computer in his brain to make him cooler. Hijinks ensues.
What I liked: 
  • -This was a really neat commentary on the internet that is only made more relevant by the advent of smart phones years after this books was written.
  • -The author's writing style is approachable and engaging.
What I didn't like: 
  • Sometimes the characters were a bit whiny. The main character could get a bit gross and irritating. 
  • Yes, teen boys are gross porn addicts.  Reading this can sometimes be a bit...much.
