its a really good book and i shall recommend it to my friends to read. so yeah i think its goodThis is one of those books that got under my skin, completely.Jason is fifteen, living as a career for his mentally ill father and also trying to adjust to life without his mother. I feel it's hard to summarise this book without giving away too much. The main character and the events that he describes are beyond most people's experiences. I was in equal measure horrified and fascinated.Throughout there is a horrible sense of inevitability to Jason's life and I lived every moment of this book.
It's so hard to review some books. I'm just not sure what I can say to make people see what I see in certain books.Crazy was... crazy, ha. Jason, the protag, was quirky and vulnerable. His battles hurt to read. I just wished as I was reading that if I could pray hard enough it would fix his life for him. That it would make his mom come back and his Dad's illness vanish. The descriptions of his father's mental illness, and his own internal struggles as he tried to cope felt so real. I just wanted
Crazy ass book.Crazy ass ride.Crazy ass plot.Crazy ass characters.Crazy ass story.This book was CRAZY.If you want the perfect description of this book, then all you have to do is look at the title.Not crazy in a bad way, really. The bad parts, weren't bad. They were so bad, that it was sooo good.It sounds weird and maybe even funny. But there is so much more to the story. Its heartbreaking, tender, loving, injust, revealing.It was all done and written in a way, that keeps you engaged,
I'm just crying at three in the morning after finishing this, it's fine. So many things... Hits close to home I guess, not to that extreme but in some ways I feel very similar to Jason. Not being able to trust people after being betrayed and learning to trust people again, finding people who really, truly care about you is really scary, but it's totally worth it to take that plunge.
This was a great book! How the author, Han Nolan, told and explained the story was awesome. The detail he used to explain this boys bad to good life was awesome. And what added it was that he made it feel like your in his life because he had imaginary "Co-stars" and were the audience. This was a great book!
So, I reviewed this in March 2013, but unlike my other ones, I slightly liked this review, it just needs editing. So I'll just edit the review a bit and post the original one using the spoiler tag. Okay? Okay. Okay, so, I'd rate this book about a 20%LOWER, ROSE......to be honest, I picked it out based on the title, and I didn't really like it. This book was about a 15 year-old boy named Jason Apollo PapadopouloswhateverIforgot. His mom is dead and his mom is a little mentally ill. Okay, a LOT
