review 1: The beginners guide to living really isn't a guide let alone one for beginners. This book basically shows you all the things you shouldn't do such as several drugs to escape your problems, befriend strangers and take drugs they give you, have sex with a girl you only just met and become a graffiti artist by way of cheap spray paint. Will, our main character has lots of unresolved personal issues that resurface at the moment his mothers death seems to sink in. He meets this girl named taryn at his mothers funeral and they quickly become a thing. She becomes his whole world for a bit until he starts to get into middle eastern religious habits and begins both meditation and staring at taryns sisters boobs. Will was really hard to relate to, and not because he did ll the thing... mores he did, but because his emotions were all over the place all the time, I never really got to know his true charter because he was so influenced by each character he came in contact with through the story. When he met taryn he acted like taryn, when he met this girl named Cherry he acted like Cherry. Will was most definitely going through some identity crisis, but that fact that randomly everything works out okay for him after him taking all these drugs and almost getting this girl pregnant is actually crazy, Lia Hills needs to go read " The Perks of being a Wall Flower" by Stephen Chbosky and take notes while doing so. This book gets no starts because it would be better if it wasn't written.
review 2: This was a really amazing book. I love books where readers are given the utmost connection to the main characters, mentally. It was nice experiencing Will's mourning with him and seeing him sprout into understanding. The philosophical references were the icing on the cake as well; I learned about so mant different philosophers and their lives. The only reason I gave it a four was because I felt his relationship with Taryn was too quick and unrealistic in the sexual and relationship terms. It never felt authentic to me, just like he was lonely and needed someone. Them working out was not very realistic to me. But other than that I really enjoyed this novel. less
