Do you like Lorenzo as a character or not and why?

I pretty much like him as a character. His personality is not that likable, so personally I don't like him as a person, but in this book, he is fine and interesting character. He is a teenager boy who is going to high school. At that age, usually guys like to hang out with friends and make a trouble in school. That is pretty much normal at that age. However, Lorenzo doesn't. He puts himself in his own restriction and acts like an outsider. He thinks others are very childish and stupid in bad way. Also he sees them badly and he regards himself as a mature and very different person. Therefore, sadly he doesn't have friends. He sometimes afraid about it but most of the time, he doesn't care. However, his parents want him to make a friend like normal kid, so he does "camouflaging". When his classmates try to be a friend with him or talk to him, at first he seems okay because he pretends to be an ordinary boy in front of them, but sometimes he is frightening by doing strange and violant things such as throwing things and shouting, and I'm not sure but his mind is refusing to make friend maybe so he goes up to his grandmother's house when he has to be in his friend's house to play, and eventually he isolates himself from his friends, and try to stay alone at the basement in Chapter 1.
