Negative Positive
Title: Thought provoking
Review: Everyone says it's odd how Martin has expressed no grief since his mother died. He didn't cry at the funeral, and he continued on like nothing had happened. His therapist Dave, urges Martin to be rebellious, get out some anger or emotion by having a tantrum or taking up smoking (Dave is not your average therapist).Martin has his own ways of coping. He has authored a website, Emerso.com, which discusses everything under the sun (and changes depending on his mood) from Norway to Nietzche. But how long can he keep everything bottled up inside?This book, like Sophie's World by Jostein Gaarder, challenges the reader to think about their own morals and ethics and different philosophical ways of thinking. But it presents in a more humorous and readable way, one that will appeal to teens. This is a very powerful and interesting story about loss.
