I just read this book and I must say that I was gripped. It was extremely well written in quite a quirky style and I enjoyed every moment of it - but I did find the ending very anti-climatic.

I, too, am confused as to whether it was non-fiction or fiction. I know the author explained why she apparently published it as fiction, and it is quite a credible story, however, I wonder whether this is just a hook to get people to read it?

I noticed at the front of the book that it said "All characters are purely fictional and any similarities to any people, living or dead are purely coincidential."

This leads me to believe that perhaps it is fiction, although this is written in all fiction books and perhaps they didn't remove it?

This was a very fine book. It was referred to me by a librarian who was helping me find summer reading. After I read it, I went right back to the bookstore for the sequel. I'm still slightly confused though, is it a true story? I found it under Non-Fiction but it seems to extreme to be real.

It wasn't the most amazing book I've ever read, but it got me to think. Any book that can get my mind to wander is something worthwhile.

I'm 17 years old, and reccomend it as a starter book for middle schoolers or young highschoolers. It's that pre-read before any serious literature.

I think that it was a (I hate this word but can't think of a better one) interesting book. It made me sad and happy at the same time but I think its important for us to see what living with an alter ego is not as fun as you would think it was. I seriously think this was a true story. All I can say is pretty darn good.

hey there, did anyone else look at the book from the point of view that the book itself is not infact anti-consumerist? surely anyone who truly understands the book can see that it is merely designed to make people think, yes it paints the character of josh as a naive teenager but it does so so blatantly that we cannot fail to see this. the message of the book seems to be looking more at the anti-consumerist attitude of teenagers than at anti-consumerism itself. yes the characters have 'prefection' issues but the book puts across the both sides of an interesting consumer attitude. we have to realise that the book allows us his point of view but also that of the 'adults' around him and points out in glaring detail the flaws in the larry philosophy. those of you who see this as a reason to give the book a 1 rating are looking at it rom very biased criteria.

My friend first told me about this book and said i must read it so I did and i ended up loving it. I believe Josh/Larry has a great point about how we left our lives revolve around all the "stuff" in the world. I recommened this book to everyone and anyone.

this book was a great example to the kinds of things we can do to try and "change" the world. even though we can't be able to chande the world it is still great if we change just one life.

i thought it was a very good book. It was very well written, and it is interesting to read. Ii did not like how it ended becaause it seemed like Josh was just taking the easy way out. It made me wonder wether or not it was fiction or nonfiction. Iit is written like nonfiction but the events in the book lead me to belive it is fiction.

I'm a 12th grader and this was my first time hearing of this book in my english 9 class. We were assigned chapters to read but I read the whole book in one sitting. I would recommand this book to be read by all students from middle to high school. The plot of the story is amazing . I really like this book.
