An im up, what more do you want from me? sticker hideously controls the back of Ayden Kosacovs bedroom door. In his mind what started as a joke is slowly becoming his glorious and underrated mantra. Ayden Kosacov is alive, and that is about all you can say. In the throws of a mundane and jejune life Ayden is slowly coming to the realization that if all his world is a stage than he wouldnt care if he did or did not miss the final scenes. Through an almost accidental suicide attempt and the recovery that soon follows, Ayden learns that there is more to living than just being alive. Finding his way through diverse experiences and people he comes to terms with God, his family, and finally himself. The Orphaned Anythings style of writing is in the likes of Dennis Johnson (Jesus Son) and Dave Eggers (A Heartbreaking Work Of Staggering Genius) and yet designed to give life lessons, encouragement, and hope like books by Paulo Coelho (The Alchemist) and Donald Miller (Blue Like Jazz).

When I first read The Orphaned Anything's, I was pulled in after the first chapter. By the fourth I had already had a sense of who the main character, Ayden, fully was. It came across as something I can relate to very well, which I can.
I think this when reading this book, you will get attached to it. It is a book to finish reading the entire thing. I started reading in because I am fan of it's author, Stephen Christian's band, Anberlin. And now I am not just a fan of the musician Stephen Christian, but the author/writer as well. I say, 'writing well done' Stephen, very well done.
If you end up finding this book I recommend you pick it up and start reading and see where it gets you.
