Title: Could have been...
Review: I don't understand how an obviously talented man could craft a book that is, by his own account, somewhat of a catharsis for him, yet is so completely mundane and poorly written that it seems to literally be written by an untalented teenager.The story could have been great. Maybe it is a great story if you have the experience of depression and suicidal tendancies. Maybe it expresses those experience and feelings exactly. I don't have that experience, and really, reading this book did nothing to help me understand those feelings, nor did it connect me emotionally to the experiences of people who suffer from these types of disorders.Runyon lived that which he was writing about. If only he would have somehow harnessed the power of those memories of that period of his life. It would have been great.Instead, we're left with this. A book about some kid with a bad attitude who doesn't give us any reason to care.
