Convince us to read the book: This book presents the author’s life in a very edgy way, using comic book style. I think that it was easier to relate to because it was told in a more visual format. This is a serious topic, but the presentation was put together well.
Compelling Aspect of the Book: I think the most compelling part of this book is that it is a re-telling of the author’s actual life and that makes it very realistic.
Were you disappointed with the book at all: I think the author could have reduced the commentary from the friends a little bit. It was difficult to understand why they kept popping up every couple of pages.
Cover: The cover was vaguely interesting. The writing was slightly humorous, but not an extremely impressive cover.
