This book convinced me that the mind of teenage boy is the POV I am least interested in.

This had an interesting premise and conveyed the claustrophobia and unease the character was going through well, both in his... predicament and in his teenage angst/not fitting in. There were some really great observations/lines in there too and probably a lot of metaphors and symbols if you wanted to pick it apart.

Brilliant. It is reminiscent of Ellis’ Less Than Zero - that same apathetic, passive yet shocking style of writing. Unflinchingly honest and strangely sympathetic.
