Bookskoetter Review:
I'll be honest, I wasn't really into this book. It reminded me a bit of Flash Burnout in that it was full of high school drama and provided a somewhat gross view into a high school guy's mind. However, I found that Flash Burnout had a little more depth to it. Basically, Andrew, the protagonist, goes from being a fat geek to a popular football player - all for a girl, who...well, I won't spoil any more. Let's just say that the school year doesn't end up how he thinks it will. Overall, I'm not sure I would recommend this book to many teens. That sounds cruel, but I just wasn't very impressed.
