Challenger Deep (4/5)

Challenger Deep
Neal Shusterman


                 Challenger Deep tells the story of Caden Bosch, a boy suffering from mental illness. Hes also on a ship to the marinas trench, but this is no ordinary ship. Shusterman tells the hardships of mental illnesses through images and metaphors that make the reader really understand the hardships and confusion of living with a mental illness


                   As a person who has lived through mental illness, I've seen a lot of books trying to romanticize or make mental illness into something its not. I really appreciate how this book doesn't do that. This gives a fantastic insight into what its really like to have a mental illness. The drawings in the book are fantastic, and are actually made by the authors son, when he was suffering in his "deep", which i think is really neat. The plot of this book is also fantastic. The author gives away little secrets one at a time that really give you insight as the book goes on, which i really really enjoyed. it takes awhile to get into this book and understand how it works, but once you do its a fantastic read. Overall I gave this book four out of five stars.

                    Thanks for reading another one of my reviews, I'll be back soon with more.
