ugh I'll begin with the pedantic writing, null boring subjects, sweeping unrelatably vague generaiisations, and the ENDLESS cliche that is this entire book. I'm pretty sure this has all been in shitty disney channel sitcoms at some point.

I am choking this fucker down page by page... it is the worst book I've read in years.

It is melodramatic to an unbearable degree, there is no subtlety whatsoever. I could go on, want page numbers?

or lets compare the entry where jonothan tries to dig a hole to china, and the gil scott heron poem 'Enough' which uses the same idea in a single line.

This book sounds fascinating :) I don't think I've ever read anything written like that before.

@ghostwritten87 sorry for my late response, Ruth! I think you would find the book very interesting :) - jessie
