This is the
story of a man's first kiss--at least, that's what it indicated at first.
Because, in the beginning, Mathew Willard stated that he was old enough to
vote, drive, and pay bills, but then the story deviates to 6th grade. Was he a
man or a boy? So I was a little confused right there.
As you move
forward, you realize this is all just a little boy's silly quest to get a girl.
The thing is that he turns into a do-or-die situation, like if he didn't get
the girl, the world, as we know it, would surely end. Frankly, I found this to
be far-fetched.
This is
basically the Boys Club's guide to girls--a subject they know little to nothing
about. Wet dreams, butthead jokes, and burning crotches--you'll find all this
and more throughout the book.
Loaded with
juvenile antics and sprinkled with fairly humorous commentary, story is a quick
and easy read, rating at a mediocre level. This didn't really tickle my fancy
too much, but it's an okay comic-book style childhood story.
My rating: 2.5 stars
