I made it 45% through, and I really cannot take anymore. Right from the beginning the writing reminds me of a teenager trying to be "not like other teens" and quirky. 

I thought this book was going to talk about, well, anxious people, but instead we end up with these completely unrealistic charicatures of sterotypes that just make the voice of <i>everyone</i> extremely annoying. Every character talks to the others as if they have never interacted with another person in their life. I found the dialogue mind-boggling, and completely unbelievable, especially when it's iterated over and over again how it's a small town where everyone knows each other. 

That's another issue; this book is repetitive. It could easily be half the size, but we have to be told that a man tried to rob a bank, and then took hostages instead over and over and over again. It's just too much for me. 

I do not find this book humorous or charming. I understand that there's an underlying message here, but having the characters just yell, "You're an idiot!" at each other for pages on end just doesn't do it for me.
