Oh, Micheal Cera. How I love you and your awkward nerdiness. So, I completely confess that I only read this book because the movie came out with Cera in it and trying to be a good little nerd, I read the book first. Reading 500 pages in one week is hard and I did it! 14 year old Nick Twisp hates his last name, loves Frank Sinatra, and apparently will do anything he can just to be with Sheeni Sanders. I really could have done without all the sex talk. I know that when a boy is 14 that's all he thinks of, but it shouldn't be the main goal in a book if you ask me, unless you are reading one of those Harlequin romance novels.
The book really could have ended like 10 times and the true ending left it wide open with so many possibilities to happen still. Arg. Also, a 14 year old does NOT have a vocabulary like that. There were so many words I couldn't pronounce, let alone know what they were. And now, I still couldn't tell you what they were. This book was addicting and maybe that's why I got through it so quickly.
The movie...okay this isn't a movie blog, so never mind. (It wasn't great and the ending was more appropriate then the book had) 4 stars
