summerseeds 's review for:
Be More Chill
by Ned Vizzini
DNF at page 100.
Let me preface with, I love It’s Kind of a Funny Story. I had a really hard time dealing with stress and depression when I was in high school. My freshman year, I had a mini mental breakdown around midterms, and a friend of mine gave me the book and told me to read it. It would help. And it did. That book helped me realize other people were going through the same things I was. I’ve bought several copies of that book over the years and given them to people I felt would benefit from the story.
What I’m saying is, I loved Vizzini. That novel means a lot to me. That’s why this is so hard for me to do. I HATED what I read of Be More Chill. All the main character thinks about is getting laid. All he does is masterbate. Everyone is completely vulgar. It’s disgusting. The way women are seen as objects to play with and use in his quest to be more cool is revolting.
I’m angry that this novel came from the same author as one of my all time favorite books.
