review 1: I believe this book is listed under the wrong genre and don't believe it should be listed as a comedy. I don't understand how an eighteen year old boy, struggling with the death of his mother is funny. As a result a relationship with his dad and several others is on a downward spiral and he thinks he has nobody to talk to. He ultimately goes through a long list of jobs and I can not help but feel pity towards him instead of laughing at him.I'm neither impressed or disappointed by this book, though the diary layout is a definite good point. It does get rather sad and sometimes depressing with the death of his mother, but for a 99p novel it was reasonable.I feel like this book could have been better in some ways, and unfortunately will not be reading any more of the authors ... morework. I unfortunately can not recommend this novel as I did not enjoy this novel as much as others, but I expect those who have previously read the authors work to enjoy this novel.
review 2: This is the second book I've read by Ben Hatch and it didn't disappoint. He seems to very easily be able to combine hilarity with sadness. The main character, Jay Golden, is simultaneously frustrating, yet utterly endearing as he struggles to make his way in the world after a massive loss. The small details which make up Jay's relationships is what makes him so genuine and likable. I would highly recommend this, and have tissues at the ready for tears of sadness and laughter! less
