SRP 2012 REVIEW: Best book ever. I read it at least once a year and it gets better each time. A great coming of age novel and has the best description I've ever read.

SRP 2012 REVIEW: i didnt think this book was anywhere near as good as its reviews. i would only recommend reading it if you are seeing the movie. maybe not even then.

SRP 2011 REVIEW: This story is not for the faint of heart. The characters deal with teenage pregnancy, drug use, and depression. Only read this book if you are absolutely sure you can deal with what's inside. I had my mom read it first, and she deemed me responsible enough to handle the content.

SRP 2011 REVIEW: It's a very real story, filled with unexpected twists. It teaches about people, the different types of people, and how one simple-minded and socially-awkward boy is able to help and befriend those people.

SRP 2011 REVIEW: I thought this book was a light read, but pretty entertaining. The journey through the protagonist's mind kept me interested and emotionally invested.

SRP 2010 REVIEWS (2): #1) Fun to read, is all I really have to say. Sex, drugs, family, high school, literature, and life seen through the eyes of a (seemingly) innocent young boy. It's really easy to read, and will keep you laughing and intrigued the whole time (I finished it in two sittings). There's no deep revelation or philosophical meaning to this book, but it's a good read for those of us who find ourselves far to caught up in our own little worlds and need to remember what else is out there. #2) It was cool how it was written in letter format. You could see the narrator's emotional maturation through the maturation of his writing style. An interesting idea, but meant for a more teenage audience.
