review 1: I picked up this high school tale through the eyes of a 17-year-old with OCD, written by a comedian I've laughed at before on TV, and wanted it to fit in with company like Swim the Fly, or perhaps Absolutely True Diary of a Part-Time Indian after the first page -- but instead, by the end I was skimming big-time just to see where/how it ended. I did smile at the ending, but not sure it was justified by the rest of the book. Bummer.
review 2: I was looking forward to rating this this book much higher. The story provides good information on difficult topics; anxiety, depression, Obsessive Compulsive Disorder and viable treatment.

... moreelling someone you are clinically depressed and they tell you a terrible story about someone else and then say, "Cheer up, your life isn't so bad."But I also found much of the story and the characters to be simplistic, one dimensional and/or degrading. less

A very quick read and a good fit for any reluctant reader. Great for teenage boys.
