review 1: This was an interesting book, and not at all bad, but I feel as though I expected more. While I love the concept and plot of the novel, I feel as though some things weren't as developed as I would have liked. Some of the ideas in the story that I found myself most interested weren't dealt with or talked about as much as I hoped they would be. However, Good Kids does have some good qualities. I love the plot of the story, because I felt that it was original. I also loved the way the author ties everything up in the end, while still leaving a little bit to the imagination.
review 2: I think I liked this book? The ending was truly a disappointment, and while much of the book made me cringe (as in, do people really behave this way on a regular basis?!), I couldn't
... morelet myself put it down (I did finish it in a day... thanks, Spring Break). It was challenging to know who to root for, but I think that speaks strongly about his characters. Lots of wit and descriptions, but occasionally too much. It will definitely hook you, but most likely disappoint you at the end! less

A smart, quirky satire on so many issues: relationships, academia, politics. A worthwhile read.
AlexisNguyen
Incredibly funny for people who understand wooly Northeasterners.

Seemed all to real and not real at all; a super enjoyable ride.

Kind of fun and entertaining but ultimately pretty silly.
