Title: This book is VERY overrated
Review: I picked up this book expecting an insight into the adolescent mind (actually it wasn't that long ago since I WAS an adolescent and I wanted to see if the book jibed). It was an insight, all right, insight into the head of the biggest whiner I've ever read (or met, for that matter). All the dopey protagonist did was wander around calling everyone phonies. I just wanted to smack him about the head and tell him to SHUT UP and pull himself up by his bootstraps (actually jockstrap would have been a better course of action). What would be an insightful book is one written about the weirdo/stalkers who have had copies of this overrated tome with them (John Lennon's killer had one so did the guy who killed the actress from tv's "My Sister Sam", etc.) I find it very hard to believe that people wanted this book banned. If anything, it should carry a warning label saying, "WARNING: Extremely insipid book".
Is the review positive or negative?
