This book just blew me away!! It is written so differently than any other book I've read, and some parts just had me laughing my ass off! But other parts made me want to cry.... It is VERY well written, and there were some parts where I could relate it completely to my own life! LOL Like how Beezer's other nickname was "The Bottomless Pit". That's MY nickname! For the same reason too....

This is my all-time favorite book. I love the way it is written, almost like someone is actually thinking these things. It makes you sick in your stomach to see how real this character is. John, the main character, is just so loveable and creative and you just want to give him a hug throughout the whole book as you read.

This is one of my favorite books. I love this novel SO much. I felt terrible for John, but his manner of speaking and the way he thought about every aspcet of life made me love him at the same time.
