The Other Normals by Ned Vizzini
2.0
Ned, above all the authors writing about social remoteness, is my perfect cup of tea. He had me at It's Kind of a Funny Story, his own story. He had a night of full blown episode of suicidal tendency, he called 911 and admitted himself in a Mental Ward, he chose life. He had me then, then just when I started searching for him, turned out he actually did it. He killed himself at thirty.
Again, he is my cup of tea, but this book is coffee. It lacks the dark humor often seen in his books. This is about a guy obsessed with Dungeons and Dragons, and discovered a loop between real world the the other dimensions, where D&D is real. What happens in other dimension, counteracts with real life. It's my fault, I expected something different from what the book can actually offer.
You are still my number one, Ned. This book is just not for me.
