I liked this book a lot but I enjoyed the "before" more than the "after" which might be weird to say about a book about depression. The resolutions of the second half seemed awfully convenient at times but not in an unbelievable way...it just made me wonder some things. I'm not sure how much of it was based on the author's real life (definitely some) so can I really blame him for drawing on real events/people and then complain they weren't as difficult as I expected? Maybe this would bother me more if I didn't think the rest of the book was pretty great. I thought Vizzini did a fantastic job of portraying extremely complicated emotions. I loved the main character and really enjoyed the author's perspective and writing style.
