This book made me cry, alone in my bed

This book is depressing, no doubt about it. But, it is also hopeful. It had me in tears, lying like a corpse in bed, my face wet with pure sadness. I felt Leonard's pain, I felt his want for a better future. The ending was lackluster, but it was still a brilliant book. One of my favorites!

!!!

so good! it got so much more interesting as it went through. was really hard to put down at some points. this kid suffers from so much & im glad this ended the way it did (sort of). it

leonard does have many problems... problems that I wasn't quite expecting. problems that made my stomach turn and made me want to put down the book. if you want to read a deep story on how messed up some people are, this is the book. it just isn't my taste to read a book about terrible things happening to others. that being said, I loved the ending and how Matthew Quick showed what a huge impact you can have on someones life. the book shows we need to be nice to everyone, because we don't know what they have gone through.

very interesting.the first time i read it,i already love it,leonard have many problems in his life.i want to wrote more about this but i think it would be a spoiler.just buy it. im 100% sure you will like it.it have all the things u want like mystery,sad,happy and etc
