Teen Angst? Naaah...: A Quasi-Autobiography by Ned Vizzini
4.0
I wanted to give this five stars, but I thought about the reason and it seemed unfair to mark my opinion on the life of the author after this book was written.
Considering Vizzini's age when he wrote these stories though, this is a book as every bit entertaining as his fiction a few years on.
It reminded me of both the desperation I felt to gain a sense of inclusion in my teenage years, and my striving to believe that the cool kids weren't as cool as they thought they were.
The chronological order of this story was a nice element too, as the reader is able to see the character's actual maturity through the high school years.
