review 1: I had never heard of Jason Mulgrew, or his first book, "Everything Is Wrong With Me," but I picked this book up after hearing him speak with the local morning radio show. He was hilarious on the show and this book definitely has its moments. It's a quick read that tells various funny stories about growing up awkward and insecure. And since being a teenager is synonymous with awkward and insecure it's a lot easier to relate to some of these stories than you might like to admit.
review 2: I'd like to get this out up front: the fifth star is for the fur cape.Jason Mulgrew is at it again with his second memoir, this time exploring the awkwardness of his teen years. Hilarious and often crass, this book is laugh-out-loud funny. (NOTE: If just the sight of the word
... more "masturbation" makes you cringe, this book is *not* for you.) Beyond the obsessions and the self-deprecation, Mulgrew's a great writer, exposing all vulnerability while weaving personal events and colorful characters into a very fun read. It's hard not to reflect on your own definitive years - in all their gawky glory - and think, "Thank God that's over." less
