review 1: I really wanted to like this book. There were a few spelling errors, but sadly that's not unusual these days. Mostly though, the writing style reminded me of how I used to write as a teenager. Sometimes the tense slips into the present, and things happen that seem to make sense to the characters but not to me. For instance, a young man tries to drug his ex girlfriend's drink and it's not considered creepy, but almost endearing. Then his ex girlfriend actually goes after him with a knife, not even joking, in front of witnesses, and that's normal too. It's more of a cartoon than a novel, so if you know that going in and expect a less than realistic world, you might enjoy it.
review 2: I rounded this up to a 3 star because it's definitely personal preference... more for me. I could not resist the title on this one and it sounded like fun, which it is but not quite my kind of fun. It took a little too long to get started and I really wanted to like it more than I did.I like more of an understated 'inadvertently' funny type of humor and this felt somewhat reminiscent of the "Three Stooges" category of slapstick humor to me. less
