“Memoirs of a Teenage Amnesiac” is an interesting book that will want you to keep reading. It does get really boring toward the middle. I think the book is a good book to read if you really don’t care about a good ending. Don’t get me wrong but a lot of good things happen in the book that will want you to keep reading just the end will surprise you.
