Funny Story

Henry has this hyperbolic way of writing where everyone is as extreme as possible. It just seems lazy and produces flat characters. For instance, Peter: he has a huge house! his family is wealthy! he eats extremely healthy! etc etc. Do we ever really know what motivates Peter? Can we see someone we know in him? I don't think so, and that's just bad writing.

The story was cute but the actual reading was a slog.
