The most terrible book I actually finished.

Any additional comments?

Did you know an obnoxious and backstabbing kid in high school who would be a bully if only he were more popular? Then imagine sitting through his 5 hour story where he paints himself as the hero.

This is a story about a supposedly very smart science nerd who happens to be gay, except that the ONLY thing he ever cares about is being popular. It reads as though the stereotypical ditsy popular cheerleader who never opened a book in her life was asked to write a story about a nerdy boy.

I could not relate to the main character because he felt contrived. Being a gay nerd myself, I never knew a real person in high school who was so scatterbrained, let alone one who could ace biology tests. Worst of all, I couldn't even warm up to him because he's conniving, back-stabbing, and a borderline sociopath. The only reason he ever shows goodness is if he thinks one of his friends will be upset with him otherwise.

The vast majority of the performers did a great job, but I the main character was just downright annoying. This is probably because of how he was written, but the ditsy intonations exacerbated the problem.

tl;dr: The book is sometimes funny, but not often. Only read if you're the kind of person who really cared about being popular at some point in your life.
