Critic Reviews

“Not just for the MTV-fan age group, this is a very entertaining, well-written book.” ( Booklist)
All stars
Most relevant  
Dave tries really hard to be edgy and interesting but in reality he is very conservative and dull. Terrified of breaking rules and suffering irritating neurosis about his brother he comes across as very ordinary.

The narration doesn't help, so whiny.
