It's Kind of a Funny Story by Ned Vizzini

This book is a coming of age novel about a young boy named Craig who is contemplating killing himself. When he has the sudden urge to jump of a bridge he checks himself into a mental hospital not knowing what he has gotten himself into. During his stay he takes life into a new perspective and along the way has ups and downs and even meets new friends there. I think this novel was a funny, sad, novel for anyone who has ever thought about killing themselves. Pick up a copy first and see what you would miss(: You might even relate to Craig and he will help you get through any difficult stages you might go through.
