I honestly can't believe I forgot about this book for so long--it was so important to me as a bookish teen and I'm a little scared to revisit it and see how it holds up. Rating to be updated when I come out from behind my hands and reckon with my teen feels. ( ) If I had read this thing around the time I sprouted my first wiry, reddish pubes, who knows? I may have loved it. Back when I jerked off as often as Nick Twisp, it could've been hilarious to read about....uhhh...Nick Twisp jerking off. Sadly though, I didn't. So I'm now 27, my pubes are in full, glorious bloom and I'm about a decade and a half past virginity, so 'Youth In Revolt' is dumb and boring. I'm actually surprised I even finished it. EDIT, 5 MINUTES LATER Reading reviews, I see quite a few Confederacy of Dunces comparisons. Absolutely ridiculous. You people are tasteless. Tasteless. This book should be about 200 pages shorter. It would have gotten a stronger review if I had stopped reading after the first "book", but I wanted to see how things would be wrapped up. This is one of those very rare times where I'd recommend the movie over the novel. Michael Cera is way more entertaining. keine Rezensionen | Rezension hinzufügen
Gehört zur ReiheNick Twisp (1)
The hilarious, take-no-prisoners novel about a cynical, sex-obsessed teenager's pining love for an intelligent girl--the basis for the major motion picture starring Michael Cera. Youth in Revolt is the journals of Nick Twisp, California's most precocious diarist, whose ongoing struggles to make sense out of high school, deal with his divorced parents, and lose his virginity result in his transformation from an unassuming fourteen-year-old to a modern youth in open revolt. As his family splinters, worlds collide, and the police block all routes out of town, Nick must cope with economic deprivation, homelessness, the gulag of the public schools, a competitive type-A father, murderous canines, and an inconvenient hair trigger on his erectile response--all while vying ardently for the affections of the beauteous Sheeni Saunders, teenage goddess, and ultimate intellectual goad.
