Edward Zanni and friends are back. They're all out of high school now, all in college except for Doug, who is the lead singer in a band called "Almost Bruce" (Springsteen). After a bad audition, Edward is told he is "too jazz hands for Julliard" and his teacher recommends spending a year in the real world in order to experience life. He lands a gig as a party motivator, pretending to be a DJ on the British MTV. He is approached by good-looking Chad, who convinces Edward to find out company information and share it with him. Unaware this is illegal, Edward gets into heaps of trouble. This was a fun read, although not quite as funny as the first book "How I Paid for College". I still enjoyed it and will read the next when it comes out. ( )

Here we rejoin Edward, who has recently been kicked out of Julliard for being "too jazz hands." Broke and miserable, he meets up with a distractingly handsome man who may or may not be into insider trading. Meanwhile, his crew of high school friends are around, having their own adventures. Add Starlight Express, a Bruce Springsteen tribute band, gala bar mitzvahs, and the Music Man as protest art. Stir in a liberal dose of the 1980s, and you have yourself one hell of a story. Good times. ( )

I'm really thankful to all of the people who posted reviews stating that they were disappointed in this book. They allowed me to go in with slightly lowered expectations, and let me enjoy this book a bunch. I'm thankful for having a chance to spend more time with these colorful characters and frequent musical theater jokes.

My only qualm with this book was the author's handling of AIDS. It kind of feels tacked on, like he wrote the story, someone pointed out that any story featuring a gay man set in the mid to late eighties has to mention AIDS, so he shoehorned it in. Or maybe this is more realistic, a young man trying hard to not think about the men dying around him, terrified of sexual contact with anyone but his childhood object of lust. I bounce around on this - in this moment, I'm leaning toward the "shoehorn" theory than the "realistic" ( )

Amusing and fun follow-up to How I Paid For College. It's more convoluted and less believable than the first book, but it's cute. ( )

I think I need to read How I Paid For College first. Love the cover of this though.

If you think about it (which I try not to), the very term is absurd: acting school.

I watch a passel of enthusiastic students laughing, talking, talking, laughing. I feel older and tougher by comparison. Surely none of them has a probation officer.
Everyone should have at least eight friends. One for each day of the week, and a spare in case someone gets sick.
