    He’s not depressed he’s bored. The 39 deaths of Adam Strand is a book by Gregory Galloway is a young adult book that mainly focuses on this boy who has killed himself so many times now that he’s become a famous person in his small town. The tone of the book doesn’t seem like how the cover of the book would sound like most of the time. It can be a serious/comedic moment in the book at any time even though this person dies many times over and over. I’d recommend the book to people that like hearing about death
