review 1: Being the adventurous person I am when it comes to reading (I'm not, but let's pretend I am), I rarely dislike books. This was the rare book I didn't enjoy that much. I'm really picky when it comes to interesting characters, characters I feel like I can bond with; I like characters who feel like they are more than just fictional characters in a fictional book. That being said, Adam was boring. The only trait I can think of for him is bored. This made the entire novel boring. I found myself skimming through parts because it was so repetitive. I have to give Galloway credit for the skipping around of suicide attempts though, as it made the book just a bit more interesting. But other than that, it was just kind of...eh.
review 2: The first time Adam Strand tried t... moreo kill himself, it was a miracle he survived--because even though the suicide was technically successful, he came back. I have to admit--I slogged through the first half of this book because it's told from his disaffected, depressed view of his boring life. However, the point it got interesting is when he finally started to care about some other people, and those people become more important in the story--so I finally started to care about him. less
