Dec 29, Amanda rated it it was amazing Recommends it for: everyone! This review has been hidden because it contains spoilers. To view it, click here. I absolutely adored this book. From your first glance at the title, you are intrigued. And from the first chapter to the last, you're undoubtedly hooked. The main character, Scott Hudson, is a smart freshmen bookworm with a witty outlook on life.
He begins constructing a Guide To High school that he will present to his sibling to-be when they enter. Scott pines after a girl whom he has known since kindergarten, a girl who comes back from summer beautiful. His attempts to charm her lead him into his school paper covering the school's awful football team , crew of the spring musical, and even student council.
Though, his attempts fall flat since she still dates the idiotic quarterback with no brain. His little clique of best friends fall apart throughout the year as well. But by the end, he does have some strong friends. His friends at the end are people he was terrified of at the start of the novel. View all 3 comments. June 19, Super cute!
And I'm just going to say ditto to the stuff I said down there vv because I feel the same way!! I'm still working on that. He was so cute and nerdy, but in a great way! Just the kind of guy I would have gone for in high school Of course, it would have been a super-secret crush, and he would never have suspected in a million years.
But whatever. The guy w June 19, Super cute! The guy was actually a lot like me, except that I was a huge math nerd, not an English nerd. And BOY, are math nerds nerdier! Book was cute. I couldn't believe the lengths Scott was willing to go to in order to spend time with Julia, when he couldn't even TALK to her! And, okay, I lied. I was more like Julia, including dating a bad-boy in high school.
Except for the being gorgeous thing. I had bad glasses, bad hair, and bad clothes in high school. Okay, not that bad. This is completely off topic. The book was very interesting. But it's a complete other thing when the book is actually written by a MAN.
So I got some very intriguing insights into the mind of a teenage boy, without it being gross. He was actually a very respectful teenage boy, which is something I'm not used to I loved the whole diary-for-a-fetus thing Gosh, Mouth would be my best friend, but I'd be scared to death of Lee and secretly envious of her green hair. I loved Wesley, too. Anyway, overall very cute. And I think I'm going to bump it up to 5 stars, as I loved it. Oh, and there are some serious teen issues in the book that Scott handles the best way he knows how Suicide, bullies, judging people It was really good.
Feb 17, Heather rated it it was amazing Shelves: ya-reads. I love to read YA literature about guys that are written by guys. I find it to be more entertaining, on the whole, than books about guys written by women. This book didn't disappoint in that regard. The gimmick of chronicling the lessons learned in school was not too over the top so as to get annoying.
Also, the author does a good job of making some surprising characters to be really interesting, and the romance resolution wasn't at all what I thought would have expected. It seems like it's going I love to read YA literature about guys that are written by guys. It seems like it's going to go against type, and then he throws a wrench, and then it's all up in the air. I liked that.
I also liked that the author got into the characterization of the parents and Scott's older brother--they spiced up the book and I hate to read a book about teenagers that acts as if they exist in a vacuum and they have no meaningful interactions with adults. All in all, a decent book that I was able to rip through in a day. If you've got an extra 6 hours or so, you might try and find a copy of this book and get a laugh or two.

When he gets the news that his mother is pregnant, he decides to begin a notebook to write down advice to his unborn sibling on how to survive the chaos that is high school. Although I was not a huge fan of this book, I do think that it would be a hit for the target audience.
In my opi Want to see more bookish things from me? In my opinion it was a bit bland and predictable and I was bored through most of it. But things start to pick up and i was surprised to find myself enjoying it.
Hes a pretty cool and decent guy. And he loves book. He has this cool way of thinking and most of the time i love being in his mind which I have to admit, is a rare occasion. Jul 07, Brittany rated it it was amazing. Found my first read aloud for the school year!
This book had me cracking up and then tearing up. Scott is a smart, funny, and caring freshman who describes his first year in a way that you can't stop reading. I think my 8th graders would thoroughly enjoy the story and there are even a few school related terms that I can incorporate while reading out loud!
LOVE this book! Jan 25, Nshslibrary rated it did not like it. When I saw the cover and title, the only thing I wanted to do was to read the book. Now the only thing I want to do is warn other people not to read the book. The main character, Scott Hudson, is an average kid with nothing special about him.
I personally de When I saw the cover and title, the only thing I wanted to do was to read the book. The author tried too hard to recreate a teenager and ended up creating a mess.
Secondly, Scott writes his diary entries with an unbelievable and unmatchable level of immaturity. Is that supposed to be funny? Grow up, Scott! It was phrases like these that made me lose respect for Scott and this book.
At home, my eyes closed as I write this review, I realized that the bottom line is that it is better to get hit by a truck than to read this book. View all 4 comments. This book is just so under rated.
Its a laugh out loud one. There are other books of this type which tries to make us laugh, but by the effort it seems that the author is trying to force the humor into the depressing parts also. But here David truly narrated from a freshman's perspective. Its refreshing to see Scott to struggle with change that comes with maturity,how friends drift apart and how the people who once seemed Impossible to live with move out of town and he just had to deal with it. Also how the other characters developed also sort of impressed me.
This one is not one of them in which the dorky freshman gets then hot chick in the end. This is real life and how to deal with it.

Why Clint Eastwood loves working with Gene Hackman and how MTV has changed movies for the worse,William Goldman, one of the most successful screenwriters in Hollywood today, tells all he knows.
A Nazi conspiracy in the heart of modern-day Manhattan—the blockbuster New York Times bestseller that became the classic film thriller. In Paraguay, Dr. A man with too many secrets and twice as many enemies, Scylla has become a target himself, with only one place left to turn. He has good looks, many women, and enormous talent. He also had a secret and a certainty: a secret that must be hidden from his public at all costs; and a certainty that the dark forces of magic were out to destroy him.
This dazzling psychological thriller cannot be put down! The most imaginative and enjoyable novel I've read since Marathon Man. A brilliantly alarming novel! His non-fiction embraces The Season and Adventures in the Screen Trade, considered the definitive studies on Broadway and Hollywood respectively. Yet despite his success, Goldman has always been a tormented man, unable to enjoy either his art or the respect it has garnered him.
The result is an enthralling book that gets to the core of a man who is both supreme talent and perplexing enigma. William Goldman's modern fantasy classic is a simple, exceptional story about quests—for riches, revenge, power, and, of course, true love—that's thrilling and timeless. Anyone who lived through the s may find it impossible—inconceivable, even—to equate The Princess Bride with anything other than the sweet, celluloid romance of Westley and Buttercup, but the film is only a fraction of the ingenious storytelling you'll find in these pages.
Brave men. Coward men. Strongest men. William Goldman, the versatile author who gave us classic thrillers like Marathon Man, the immortal comedy of The Princess Bride, and the infamous Hollywood tell-all Adventures in the Screen Trade, offers a beautiful and sweeping novel inspired by his own coming-of-age, set against the backdrop of the New York theater world. In Boys and Girls Together, five friends—each of them young, creative, ambitious, and troubled—make their way to Manhattan in pursuit of their dreams.
Aaron, the playwright; Walt, the director; Rudy and Jenny, both actors; and Branch, their producer, all come together to struggle, fight, love, create art, and face the hard truths of life.
