I have to admit it. I am an absolutely huge David Lubar fanatic. IMHO he is to YA books what Joss Whedon is to television, what Shakespeare is to theatre, what Britney is to bad girls…(LOL). His writing is smart, funny, unexpected, layered, engaging and so much more. This book was no exception. Scott, a clever but underdeveloped young man, suffers through his freshman year with “Job”-like issues…but his “put one foot in front of the other” attitude and sardonic view of the world around him make this book a laugh-out-loud delight … with a few of those spin on a dime moments that will totally make you catch your breath. Added to this, you have a really strong book that is extremely guy focused. How rare is that? David Lubar is a welcome addition to the modern landscape of teen novels. Take time to enjoy the fun.
