This book was awesome. It was so funny and I loved the main character, Zach. I recommend it. Even though it's about schizophrenia, it's a great way to get more understanding about it. Totally worth the read. Plus it's a very short book.

Fascinating and impossible to put down. Zachary is a great protagonist and narrator.

Made me cry. I find it offensive to "like" this book or to have "enjoyed" it, so I'll just state that I read it.

Tense short book told by a schizophrenic boy who happens to be in a coffeeshop when two teens come barrelling in with a gun and take everyone hostage. Terrifying enough situation for anyone, but to Zach, who has trouble telling reality apart from his fantasies and weird inner voices, it's doubly confusing. And the later it gets and he is still stuck inside the shop, the louder those bullying voices in his head will get--and he has no way to get his medicine to calm them. Really really great book.
