I'm a little more than half done - no idea what page number (Kindle doesn't do page numbers). The principal character's arms' length (or longer) look at life is really dominant and it is annoying, on purpose, I'm sure. Perk is dealing with a lot - the death of his father and his best friend who committed suicide. And then the alienation, bullying, wandering of high school - he's got his hands full.Do I know how the book ends? Probably. Will it be worth it? I'm not sure. The book is a quick read - I've read the half of the book in spare moments - in one day, a busy day.I finished the book - there was a twist toward the end of the book that maybe I should have seen coming, but I didn't. I'm glad I finished the book, and I would give it a weak recommendation. It takes the whole teen angst to a whole new level - that is both way overly intellectual and immature. Yeah, high school is a turbulent, disturbing time for everyone, including those who have to deal with the teens. Still, this teen seemed to take the whole attitude to a way over the top level. I think this could have been a much better book, still . . . sort of haunting.
