Query: shockingly boring

I understand the desire to shock a reader to keep things interesting however, in this book Frey did not succeed. I first read this book as a senior in high school and was unimpressed. It's an easy read and is moderately interesting, enough to get through at least, but Frey's attempt at being brutal and honest comes off as unrealistic and cold. He as a main character, although fictional, is very hard to identify with let alone like. Overall I really didn't like this book because to be blunt, it sucked.
