review 1: I was really looking forward to reading this book, and it was decently written. I just did not find it to be gripping at all, none of the characters--including Kevin--are very developed, and there is really no plot. I did not particularly enjoy seventh grade, I can relate to the awkward, uneasiness that Kevin experiences. But, if I am going to read about a boy's junior high journey, I think I would rather read Adam Levin's 1000 page phone book, The Instructions. Also, this is a memoir, but how does Brockmeier remember enough of seventh grade to produce such a detailed memoir?
review 2: I am the same age as the author, so I was also in seventh grade in 1985, making this memoir especially enjoyable. The book itself is bound like a textbook, giving it a weird retr... moreo look and feel which was perfect, and which I loved. I hope this book gets the attention it deserves. The author really brings back a lot of memories and emotions from the middle-school years, and this book was a treat. It only took a few days to read (was hard to put down). If I'd had more time, definitely could have read it in a day. Loved it and highly recommend it. less
