Synopses & Reviews

Publisher Comments:

Written in side-splitting and often cringe-inducing detail, Paul Feig takes you in a time machine to a world of bombardment by dodge balls, ill-fated prom dates, hellish school bus rides, and other aspects of public school life that will keep you laughing in recognition and occasionally sighing in relief that you aren’t him. Kick Me is a nostalgic trip for the inner geek in all of us.

Review:

“I love Paul Feig’s sense of humor—in a platonic way. This book is hilarious. I recommend it to people like me. And to people who don’t like me.”

David Hollingsworth, April 6, 2008 (view all comments by David Hollingsworth)
A disturbingly comical journey into the often horrifying phase of youth, which is also ironic because everyone of us has had many unbearable experiences with growing up. Everyone who reads this book will see themselves as the main character, who is trying to survive his own life by dealing with his own personal hell to get where he is today.
