Wow. That's all I can say right now because I was blown away by this book. I started reading it at like 9:00 and finished it at like 1:30 (hey I'm a slow reader, sue me) and I just couldn't put this book down. I have to admit that the ending was a dissappointment, even …more though he did get the book published. I also am dissappointed that this is evidentally not a true story. I read the whole thing thinking it was a true story, and was inspired, yet people keep telling me it's a ficticous story. Oh well.
This is a great book for teens, as I am a Freshman in high school (14 yrs) and "HAD" to read this book for school. Boy was I wrong about it. I recomend it to everyone who likes contemporary (and sometimes humouros) stories.
By the way, please refrain from listening to any of those people who give it, say....1 STAR! They either need to get a life or are too old to read this book. Older people can't understand the wisdom of us teens, like Josh (not that I'm saying that I'm wise. Believe me. I'm anything BUT wise). But can't they understand that Josh was doing a GOOD THING? They call him a goody-two-shoes and stuff but still...LAY OFF THE GUY, WILL YA???!!!!!! sorry. had to get that out of my system. (less)
