"Fifteen-year-old Etgar Allison is spending spring break alone in an empty house, when he inadvertently learns that his girlfriend has cheated on him with another boy. Heartbroken and lonely, without parental supervision, he turns to alcohol. Unable to cope with his grief, he looks to the Internet for comfort and lands in an adult chatroom. There he meets Macy, a bored but attractive housewife; flirtatious IMs escalate into cybersex chats and soon Etgar is raiding his savings account for a romantic rendezvous in London. What could possibly go wrong? Ben Brooks's Lolito is an uncompromising look at the turbulent emotional life of teenage boys, a funny and poignant story that injects raw honesty--and even a little tenderness--into its portrait of a taboo relationship."--Provided from Amazon.com.… (plus d'informations)

    mediapuzzle: There are some parallels between these novels around people out of control and using alcohol. Funny and serious at the same time.

I can't believe I haven't reviewed this yet!

I found it a really readable, engrossing book. I read it in about a day and just lapped it up. The dialogue was really easy and I really enjoyed its sparseness?

It feels sort of subversive and dark, almost like a drink with hidden alcohol?

It stuck with me a while after I read it and I would recommend it. My reading tastes have changed, though, so I'm not sure how dark it really is or if I would feel the same way about it now?

Nonetheless, if you like Irvine Welsh, you might like this book. c: ( )

Accidentally started reading it on my way to return it to the library for a friend. Super easy to read. Heaps of cute embarrassing funny thoughts about breaking up and getting together and the internet and the separation between real life and the internet and just doing things out of boredom 'because what else'. Like whether acquired taste is really a thing and how to act like a stockbroker who enjoys playing golf on the weekends even though you're a fifteen year old boy and how choosing food in restaurants is difficult : "I always want to split into several people and eat various meals then vomit everything back up and become one person again to choose my favourite".

Funny sad thoughts about wanting the internet to be real but being able to be serious online because you know it's not real sort of sums up a major theme running through the book and why I liked it so much.

'I still wish people could climb through computers'
'Me too. Just not to here. You should try'
'I'm trying. My face is against the screen. It isn't working. Maybe there's something you need to press. Like F5 or something' ( )
