The best part of writing my own book review is that I get to pick the book. This week’s book is Youth in Revolt by C.D. Payne. I have been told that this book is very humorous, and it’s been made into a movie, so I’m crossing my fingers that it is good. Also, it is a 499 page book, so I’m pretty sure it will take me all week to finish it!
Back Cover:
Youth in Revolt is the journals of Nick Twisp, California’s most precocious diarist, whose ongoing struggles to make sense out of high school, deal with his divorced parents, and lose his virginity result in his transformation from an unassuming fourteen-year-old to a modern youth in open revolt. As his family splinters, worlds collide, and the police block all routes out of town, Nick must cope with economic deprivation, homelessness, the gulag of the public schools, a competitive type-a father, murderous canines (in triplicate), and an inconvenient hair trigger on his erectile response - all while vying ardently for the affections of the beauteous Sheeni Saunders, teenage goddess and ultimate intellectual goad.
