Saint Iggy by K. L. Going

This book reminded me of Mrs. Dalloway. It seems like a stream of consciousness book, following Iggy's jumpy thoughts. It is more suited for YA though because of Iggy's imagined conversations. Dialogue is what keeps books going, after all. Like the title, and the corresponding scene in the book, imply, Iggy wants to do something saintly. Then everyone will understand that they were wrong about him, and he's fantast. I think this has big empathy appeal with teens. I used to think about this all the time when I was one; if I just do THIS, everyone will think THAT. Or fantasies of what would happen after I died. I think the book is relate-able, but the ending unrealistic. What does it say to teens about dealing with life and consequences?
