Its Kind of a Funny Story Chapter 10
Really bad story
The narrator was great, I enjoyed all the characters voices and all but, the book itself was extremely bad.
The story started out great on depression, giving people a view on what's like. then it got weird, there were times where he was sexualizing his own mother, making transphobic comments, racist, and homophobic comments as well. I tried to assume that the comments were made as part of a mental illness but it was never discussed in that matter making it a very unnecessary add to the story.

Entertaining story with a funny narrator
What made the experience of listening to It's Kind of a Funny Story the most enjoyable?
The quirky characters involved in interaction with the main character and how he sees them.
Who was your favorite character and why?
I really liked the professor and the other older black woman with no teeth.. they had a lot of character and provided for some very comedic scenes.
Which character – as performed by Robert Fass – was your favorite?
My favorite was Jimmy...Robert Fass's voice of Jimmy's character was hilarious and very believable.
Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?
The book certainly made me laugh, I think that the narration (Robert Fass) played a large role in that. An excellent audio book to me is one that provides a very detailed description of the scene, characters, and if the narrator is able to portray all of the characters in different ways and voices as to bring life to them and create a picture in my mind.

Ok...I didn't hate it

Ok job

Predictable but still a good read; especially if you gravitate toward reads about mental health.

But it's also kind of not a funny story.
What could have made this a 4 or 5-star listening experience for you?
I think if the language were more vibrant (or Craig was more interesting), then I might have liked It's Kind of a Funny Story. However, Fass's voice is strange, and I really disliked how he read the female dialog.
What was most disappointing about Ned Vizzini's story?
I came into this with high expectations, and it just didn't deliver. FYI: I know it's not supposed to be a funny story entirely, but even the funny parts aren't that funny. I spent most of the story waiting for something to happen, and when something finally did happen, I didn't really care. I really wanted this to be The Perks of Being a Wallflower meets Girl, Interrupted, but it was nothing like that.
How did the narrator detract from the book?
In my opinion, Fass's voice is too old for Craig, and the way he reads female dialog is less than stellar.
What character would you cut from It's Kind of a Funny Story?
Aaron. He's boring and serves little purpose, though he probably could have.

It's Kind of an Acceptable Middle School Book
Was expecting a humorous take on a teen's POV entering a mental hospital. What I read was sophomoric and moderately interesting. The main character probably has autism and suffers from depression with thoughts of suicide. He meets a gaggle of odd characters, as to be expected, and finally reaches his revelation. This wasn't worth my full credit, although it's not terrible and I wouldn't return it. On sale, good bet. You can also check this out from your library and skim it, saving your credit.

dont read if you're trans
very bigoted representation of a trans character who was only mentioned for one page or so and was treated terribly the entire time and is never mentioned again

Fantastic V/O Work, sometimes difficult to follow
The narrator in the audiobook portrays different characters with a wide range of voices, dialects and accents. He is extremely talented and does an outstanding job. My only issue is that it is difficult at times to tell if the main character is speaking or just narrating his thoughts. Overall, superb job.

I believe that this was an intriguing book that teens will find and can relate too. The narrator was splendid and the theme was thrilling
