YMMV / It's Kind of a Funny Story

• Awesome Music: The "Under Pressure" scene.
• Harsher in Hindsight: The novel's author, Ned Vizzini, wound up dying by suicide on December 19th, 2013, seven years after the novel was published. It becomes hard to believe the book's optimistic tone regarding depression when you know the man who wrote it lost his own battle with mental illness.
