I must say, I first read this book when I ws maybe 10 or 11, and haven't read it again in several years. But I've read this book at least three times and I love it. The writing, though, is very much geared toward younger people. The main character is a 17 year old growing up in the city with his divorced mother. It centers on his very paranoid perception of the city, and he continues to have problems in school. The characters in the book are interesting and differnt- from guidance counselors, to his friends, and his mother. The main character has a sarcastic and ironic sense of humor that I like.
