Title: Inspiring
Product review: As an unpublished writer, the fact that this book was published by a major publishing house and was, somewhat, widely read gives me the motivation I need to continue writing. If this book can get published, I can write a book worth publishing.The characters in this book are completely one dimensional. They feel like caricatures of real people, and I didn't care about them at all. At times, I wondered if that was the point, and the book was supposed to be some kind of farce; but somehow, I don't think so. The worst part is when Joe's parents are sending him to rehab and he insists on going to these posh recovery centers - only to escape immediately after arriving. It didn't seam like a realistic thing for a strung out kid to do, and I wonder if Spitz was kidding.Seriously, it's been about five years since I read this book, and I still think about it every once in a while, and I check online hoping to find that it's now out of print. This is probably the worst book I've ever read.
