The Boy With The Thorn In His Side
We're here to take your hearts.
This is a book, written by Pete Wentz. By now you might be thinking ewwww and just leave. But you know what, this book really is amazing; regardless who wrote it. I think you would be suprised, his writing is simply breathtaking.
"When I was younger, I had a recurring nightmare about a far off place full of dark things. I remember forcing my eyes open to escape it... It's like part of your imagination being overactive and never sleeping."
Written by Peter Wentz.
Illustrated by Joe Tesauro.
Colored by Rob Dobi.
Based on original drawings by Tim Biedron.
It's a bit twisted, and it's very unusual. It's much like a Tim Burton style. The Boy is a hideous thing, hated, unloved, misunderstood. He does not have a name, because he does not deserve one. He does not even deserve to be remembered.
He is the kind of kid that just gets by. He is the kind of kid who you forget about as soon as you meet him. He is the B-side to your hit single. He is the crust on the bread, the ash on a cigarette.
The Boy falls into a depression, and his mother, takes him to a doctor. The Boy talks with the doctor, and the doctor gives him black pills to take whenever he feels sick in his own skin, or like he was breathing on the bottom of the ocean.
The Boy ends up falling in love with a girl called Rattail in his new world, after he takes the pills. The Boy never wants to leave, so he continues to take the pills.
When he runs out he goes back into the real world, steals pills, and the doctor follows him back into the world.
That is all I will say here. In some way, I think we are ALL, The Boy. Some part of us. It might be just a feeling we all share at some point, it could be a trait in personality, whatever it is, anyone can relate to this Boy. It is extremely well written, the pictures are really amazing, but simple.
I reccomend this book to anyone who is interested in reading a short story. It is 43 pages long, and deffinatly well worth reading. You can purchase it here: http://clandestineindustries.seenon.com/detail.php?p=24370&v=ci-classic
Don't think about who wrote it, maybe just free your mind a bit. Think about what it's about, think about what you could get out of it. It's a good chance to get off of the computer for a short half an hour, and read a book, an amazing book. I've read it twice already, and I'm deffinatly going to read it many times more. It has a good tie in with music, and some things people might be going through in their everyday life. I know I can relate to The Boy. I know how he feels, I am exactly like him, and it scares me even. Thankyou if you have read this far. Forgive me if this review sucked, I've never written one before. I just really loved this book and I had to share it with everyone.

I want to read it, I knew he wrote a book but I didn't know where to find it.

I'd like to read this book actually.
It does sound really interesting. Even if Pete did write it a lot of people in this world are going through stuff similar to The Boy in the story.
Let me borrow it sometime. ;]

Hmmm, I'm kind of interested now. I wouldn't have thought twice about reading it because Wentz wrote it, but you make it sound pretty interesting.
