Overall I did like the book, it was hard to follow in the beginning but I got use to it. I thought the best part was when in the end when his dad was trying to make it up to Chris. I thought the worse part was every time he got sidetracked and started writing about something else. My favourite character was Chris just because of his perspective on life. My least favourite character was Mrs Shears because every time she talked in the book she was really mean and never in a good mood.
