Stupid Fast
review 1: Very satisfying conclusion to the trilogy. We got to know Felton Reinstein over two years of his high school career going from "squirrel nut" to "stupid fast," his loves, his struggle to deal with his father's suicide, his mother's reaction to how much he began to look like his dad, and so much more. Felton was alternately self centered, exasperating, funny as all getout, and tragic. I laughed out loud often, cringed just as often, and my heart ached for Felton, his brother Andrew, and Jerri, his mom. I used to live in Wisconsin and I know how seriously the whole state takes their Badgers and I can't believe he did that when deciding on his college on National Signing Day! Loved the series and this last book!
review 2: I loved this book at the start, then it fe
... morelt a bit long and I got weary of the sadness and bad decisions, but I was still impressed. I appreciated how it approached the many issues a high school boy might face pretty head on - even though Felton is exceptional in athletics, his problems are pretty universal, like bullying, alcohol, parental problems, and school. I thought it stood well on its own without reading the first two. The conversational style with parenthetical references works well, though I was a little thrown off by the fact that he was apparently looking back through the whole book, which only came up a few times. less

Very Napoleon Dynamite-esque. Quirky and serious. I loved Felton Reinstein's voice.

A little unsettling, but still good. I preferred the 1st book.

Funny but not as good as the first one.
