A lot of the reviews on here are ranting about how things made no sense, but honestly, I liked that part. It left me to think about whether things truly happened or that it was all in Matt's head.

The story sucked me in for real and left me thinking the entire time. Great piece of work.

This book took me so long to read, but it was ok. Super corny at times, but ok. Matt’s start of with the quiet anger and it gets bigger. And it was super boring to. Some of the quote in this book were nice and made me love my body a little more. I bo like the ending and how he channeled that anger into something beautiful. But it still wasn’t very entertaining.

Retrospectively: I really enjoyed this book!

I don't quite know what I think about this book. I had a lot of questions about Matt's powers at the end of the book and just didn't find the ending satisfied all of my questions.
