I bought the book because it seemed like a fun, lighthearted read. Well, the book is well-written, I'll give it that, but it is completely outrageous (inappropriate)!! I can't believe this is written for a 5th grade audience. Basically, the poor kid is abused by his sister, parents, and friends and it is supposed to be funny, but it's really just sick. And the events are disrespectful and over the top. Topics include suicidal ideation, drinking, nudity, trying to see nudity, dangerous behaviors, and abuse.
