Title: Wonderful story of personal triumph
Review: As a reviewer for the San Antonio Express-News, I got the advance copy of this book a few weeks ago. I put it aside in order to finish a few other projects. About a week ago, I picked it up before going to bed after a late evening, intending to read it until I fell asleep. At 7:30 the next morning, I closed the book after finishing it. Oh, I tried to put it down a few times, but I finally gave it up and decided to finish it. I enjoyed it immensely, although I think it could have been a little less pretentious in spots. It almost seemed like "Revenge of the Nerds" in places. However, a very strong story very reminscent of Beverly Cleary's "Henry Huggins" stories. Should make an interesting movie, provided they concentrate on the personal triumphs and not try to turn it into a "90210" episode. A keeper.
