Review: I have found out I don't like Dark Comedy in regards to teens.
Rating: 3 out of 5
Date: 09 2, 2011
This was dark & depressing. I like teenagers. I have worked with them for years. I spent 3 years as a counselor at a camp for children in foster care & Child Protective Services, and 5 more as a high school teacher. I know how bad things can be for teens.This was worse I think. While the writing was good the storyline just about killed my heart. It was unrelentingly depressing.so three stars for the writing being effective and well written, but taking off 1 star because even bad kids get breaks sometimes (just not in this book). Another star taken off because there was no personal enjoyment for me in reading this. I did finish it, and yes, there are a few bright spots at the end, but not enough.
