From the book jacket: ME My name is Greg Gaines. I am seventeen. I am the one who wrote this book. … EARL Earl Jackson is the only person who is even sort of my friend. We make mediocre films together. … DYING GIRL During my senior year, my mom forced me to become friends with a girl who had cancer. This brought about the destruction of my entire life.
My reactions
I wish this had brought about the destruction of this book. He comes off as being about 10 years old, not seventeen. His “humor” is juvenile, mostly related to bathroom and bodily functions. His attempts at self-deprecation were just sad and sometimes even disturbing. I kept reading because it had some rave reviews, and I thought it might get better. (It didn’t.) I finished it only because it satisfied a few challenges.
A complete waste of time, IMHO.… (plus d'informations)
