 | Description: Seventeen-year-old Jim JD Dillinger knows exactly how his miserable suburban life is going to play out. At least drugs added a little chaos to his life, but after almost losing his soul, JD knows he has to quit. Now clean, he figures he has another sixty years of plain old boring life followed by a nasty death. JD decides to pre-empt God by killing himself. However, once he decides to die, his life gets better, more interesting, and then downright strange. New friends. Possible romance. And donuts. Lots of donuts. Once the end is in sight, every minute becomes precious. Review: From first looking at this book it doesn't look like a particularly funny read; however, that is exactly what this is. Somehow Aaron Michael Ritchey was able to create the perfect combination of seriousness with humor to make this book enjoyable. It was a little hard to get into at the beginning because there wasn't much action, but as the book progressed I found it hard to put it down. The end of this book takes a major turn that makes it even more thrilling, The writing style is great and it's only 209 pages so you don't have to commit too much time to reading. Rating: 4/5 |
