review 1: It may not have been the most insightful analysis of a film I ever read in my life, but it was okay and refreshingly different in its approach. What I liked best were the very personal parts at the beginning and end of the book, where the guy most of us know as "Barry Kripke" desribes his own high school experience and utters wishes for his children how they may cope with bullying and the likes.Would buy just about any other book by the author. If he should ever write one again.

It is anecdotal, but not inappropriately so. It is highly personal but hits enough universal notes that it is accesible.

Certainly worth a look. less
