mrzepka 's review for:

Be More Chill by Ned Vizzini

4.0

The book makes some great commentary about the increasing role of technology in our lives and how dangerous it can be for us, especially when popularity is involved. With the book written in 2004, it’s safe to say it was ahead of its time. I like how it was written from the perspective of high schoolers, a group highly effected by technology, but found some of the adult characters a little over the top, which got in the way of complete enjoyment. I still can’t decide if it was done purposely or not. I’ll be excited to see how this translates to the stage and screen.
