It's Kind Of A Funny Story By: Ned Vizzini

"It's Kind Of A Funny Story" is a book about a boy named Greg who is depressed. Greg isn't exactly sure what to do about it and tries to ignore it. He has trouble Keeping food down, has trouble keeping up with his school work, and is constantly fantasizes about his best friends girl friend. When He finally does check himself into a psychiatric ward at a nearby hospital, He finds himself in a whole new world. Everyone there is suffering from some sort of mental illness just like him, except something makes them all seem "extra special". Later he realizes that everyone in there is just like him, they all have normal lives and they all have normal feelings just like him. In the end it's the message of ward not seeming so different from the rest of the world that makes it so interesting. I would give this book a 4/5 stars because although a good book it sometimes seemed a little boring. But it was a very cute and funny book!
