Publisher's Summary
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 god.

"Guy's Bood"
I am 55 years old, a professional, and I am happy to tell you that I loved this book. But I liked American Pie (though I didn't think it was right that they put the Czechoslovakia girl on the net) and other idiotic, immature, and lowbrow stuff too. It is for a person who can let themselves go back to age 13 and re-experience the mindset and erection set. I wonder, maybe my mindset hasn't changed in 42 years and I am not going back.

"Love the book, hated the reading"
This is one of my favorite books of all time, and I had the idea that maybe revisiting it in casual audiobook fashion would be a great way to reconnect with the piece...WRONG.
Paul Michael Garcia (the voice) sounds like a Computer reading words one at a time, over annunciating the wrong points and rolling words like he is in a bad Shakespeare in the park play...
This story is ALL Nick Twisp... and it was necessary to find a person who embodied this confused, vulnerable and evolving character. This readers speak and spell reading style is not the correct casting.1 of 1 people found this review helpful -

"Very Different"
I loved the movie and the book while good has been changed a great deal. Nevertheless, I still enjoyed it but not quite as much as I enjoyed the movie, which in my opinion was better thought out.

"Disapointing."
I purchased this because i love the movie and books are normally better than the movie. But not in this case. do yourself a favour and watch the movie and forget the book. It was completely lost of me and the ending sucks.
