Review:

I guess this wasn't what I thought it would be. It seem like the author was trying too hard to try to make this seem witty and humorous which after a while made it feel too gimmicky. I really wasn't that fond of the writing style either.

This started out good with 13 year old Clay being accused of writing graffiti on one of the walls at school. He knows didn't do but the strange thing is what was written on the wall was exactly what he had wrote in this journal he had recently been given.

Despite his protest that he didn't do it, Clay was shipped off to a strange camp for struggling youth, where in my opinion the story stopped being interesting. It turned into this over the top really silly story that was far from being interesting.

I could no longer continue reading this, it went from fun and interesting to boring and annoying. This was a book I thought would have been interesting but it lacked focus and writing wasn't that good.
