For once I can actually comment. I read it quite recently on recommendation from a friend.

You're not wrong on the superficial feeling on the premise. I found the late-mid to last chapters the best, especially as they really dig into the more complex side of depression.

However, I always maintain a "if you're not enjoying it, don't keep doing it" There's always more great reads to better suit tastes.

I would still recommend it. However his writing is meant to be accessible. His other book, "Dead Father's Club" is a great example. (Essentially, modern hamlet from a child's perspective)
