Reading: Veronika Decides to Die-COMPLETE

I finished the book, in my friends bed this morning, while he read the newspaper on his IPAD. If only he were straight, it would have been a happy little 21st century couple moment.

Anyways, while the first half of the book was a huge critique on society, the second half of the book seemed more just telling stories of the other characters, for no particular reason! The moral of the story is that in order to live fullest, you need to be free. It also had major undertones that you don't appreciate your life until you realize the fleetingness of it!

I didn't love this book, but it did have a good message to it! It also seemed to be a lot more personal, as he had spent many years of his life in insane assylum's and felt that people aren't truly crazy, but that they just don't want to conform to the masses.
