An interesting take on troubled teens, particularly those with anger management issues. It mixes elements of comic books and real life. I also enjoyed the peek into goth world.

All in all, a well done novel that kept me reading. I also liked that the ending was very realistic in terms of conquering severe anger issues. Be aware, though, there is A LOT of teen angst in this book. It's also a tad bit emo and rather glorifying in terms of cigarette smoking, alcohol, sex, and drugs.
