Title: Funny and Right On Target
Review: This is another book in the vein of "Catcher in the Rye" about a disaffected youth who sees things as they really are and is persecuted because of it. No, it isn't perfect, but it is highly entertaining and laugh-out-loud funny. If you grew up in a small town or a tight-knit neighborhood, and were surrounded by pea-brained provincals, busybodies, and insufferable know-it-alls ( come to think of it, who hasn't? ), then these characters will ring true. This novel rode the Zeitgeist all the way to the Booker and rightfully so. I've read it three times and it still seems fresh. Recommended to every outcast teenager and young adult.
