It's Kind of a Funny Story

Like many ambitious New York City teenagers, Craig Gilner sees entry into Manhattan's Executive Pre-Professional High School as the ticket to his future. Determined to succeed at life—which means getting into the right high school to get into the right college to get the right job—Craig studies night and day to ace the entrance exam, and does. That's when things start to get crazy. At his new school, Craig realizes that he isn't brilliant compared to the other kids; he's just average, and maybe not even that. He soon sees his once-perfect future crumbling away.

网友对It's Kind of a Funny Story的评论

看过改编的电影,很幽默很小清新,所以觉得书应该也不错。原著也的确挺有乐趣,文字很readable,不难懂。

这本书虽然是贵了点,但是字很大看起来很舒服,而且是硬装版的,保护的很好!支持电影,支持原著!

书和电影都非常好。都值得看。

This book was amazing. It started out a bit like a normal kids life. It told the story of Craig and how he coped with life dealing with his parents, school sister, and his friends. But the surprise was the journey of him silently struggling with his depression and anxiety. It also showed the darker side to someone secretly suffering from these mental illnesses. It really opens the readers eyes to what it really is like to be inside of a person eyes and life who suffers from this. It also gives the insight of how it is to go through treatement when you turn to help from a hospital when you want to kill yourself.

I enjoyed this book because I myself suffered for many years with depression. I hid it from everyone even if they knew about it I tried to hide it and how I truly hurt. Reading that an author could depict that into a book to kind of show light on how it is to deal with this. And the options that there is to get help but also know that no matter what in the end there can be help for you. This is a must read for anyone no matter who you are! Whether you are dealing with these issues or know someone who is. Or are just wanting to read a good book! This is perfect!

Absolutely LOVE this book. Probably one of my all time favorites. It's honest and funny and tear-worthy all at the same time. It's absolutely perfect for adults and teens and is completely captivating I finished it in about 2 days and have read it over and over since. This book was fantastic. Anyone dealing with any kind of mental illness needs to read this. Heck, anyone who knows anyone or knew someone who had a mental illness or saw someone with one on TV or in a movie or even just walked past someone who looked glum, needs to read this.

The novel follows 15-year-old Craig: he is depressed and suicidal. He attends a prestigious school which he spent months and months studying and working towards however, since the day of his welcome letter, he's never been happy. The school is just stress and grades, he's struggling to keep his head above water and admits himself into the mental health ward. The synopsis sounds cringey, teenagery maybe even predictable but it's not. The title sums it up perfectly: 'It's Kind of a Funny Story' because it is. Never have I wanted to laugh at a character's cynical humour while wanting to cry over the bleakness of his life. I was emotionally invested and, more so, emotionally torn.

This book just did it for me and led me to read all his other books as well, they're so good. Definitely recommend reading this NOW

I was hesitant to read this due to the unfortunate real-life results of depression in Vizzini's life. I decided to go ahead and I enjoyed this book. Definitely took me on a weird journey but it seemed to give me some peace. I giggled at some of the moments Vizzini portrays anxiety and the "Cycling" of thoughts that Craig has because it seemed to resonate so much with my own experience of anxiety. I feel like Ned may have wanted to mildly destigmatize mental illness with this book as well through the numerous characters and for me I think it did. Multiple moments of laughter and multiple moments of "wow I know what that feels like." The only thing that irqs me in this story was Craig's tendency to distinctly emphasize certain characters as "black guy" or "black lady" while many other characters' race is not mentioned. I know that's a minute detail but it's one that rubs me the wrong way.
