I’m an eighth grader and in fifth grade my teacher read this to us. It was SO boring. I hate stories about idiot kids who make up fake places and think they’re real. Or fake people or things, etc. It was a HORRIBLE book. I had no interest in it and every day when it was time to read I got SO upset because I did NOT want to read it! It was a HUGE waste of time. The only reason my class liked it is because there are some swear words in it and we thought it was funny to hear our teacher swear. Honestly, I don’t know why we had to read it and why the teachers keep making us read it. Even if there is a good message. If the kids aren’t interested in a book they won’t retain it and won’t understand the message. We kept reading it just so we’d know it would be over eventually. Among the other books I had to read in school that I hated: Maniac Magee, True Confessions of Charlotte Doyle, Tuck Everlasting, and MAROO OF THE WINTER CAVES! They were all disgustingly bad.

My daughter got this for her birthday. I hated this book!! The story is fine. Maybe kids might get something deep from this but I doubt it. From the first page, the characters are all dark and ugly to each other. There is no respect shown for any authority figure in the book from parents to teachers. There is no love or respect between any siblings. There are plenty of cuss words throughout the book. There are illusions to a child/teacher inappropriate relationship. There is a whole discussion about God d—- people to h—. The words in this book can’t be typed in this review, so why would you allow your child to read them?? The death of the child holds no meaning, because I didn’t feel anything for any of the characters and there’s no great lesson in the death either. There are lots of references to killing people “by the childen”! Such things like “I’d like to kill him/her” said repeatedly, like it’s ok to say that. The parents are portrayed as insignificant and stupid. There are illusions that the boy may turn out gay because he draws. There are lots of mean remarks about fat people. I have no idea how this book got an award and why it has 800 star reviews. I only know I am sick that my daughter got this book as a gift and read it before I checked it out. There is nothing edifying in this book whatsoever and I’m probably on damage control for the next 6 months with my child.

This book is terrible! All my friends and I hate it. Sometimes for a whole chapter it talks about Jess thinking about things that nobody cares about. This would never happen in real life. All they do is say wow im in happyland. No wonder they dont have any other friends. LESLIE DIED! LETS HAVE A PARTY!
