Narration In Pursuance Of Books Youth in Revolt: The Journals of Nick Twisp (Youth in Revolt #1)

Six months in the life of the world's most dangerous teenager. Youth in Revolt is the journals of Nick Twisp, California's most precocious diarist, whose ongoing struggles to make sense out of high school, deal with his divorced parents, and lose his virginity result in his transformation from an unassuming fourteen-year-old to a modern youth in open revolt. As his family splinters, worlds collide, and the police block all routes out of town, Nick must cope with economic deprivation, homelessness, the gulag of the public schools, a competitive Type-A father, murderous canines (in triplicate), and an inconvenient hair trigger on his erectile response—all while vying ardently for the affections of the beauteous Sheeni Saunders, teenage goddess and ultimate intellectual goad.

14-year-old Nick Twisp is a swirling cesspool of hormones, humor, and angst. His divorced parents land somewhere on the Running with Scissors scale: self-obsessed, womanizing father; overbearing-yet-somehow oblivious mother, but neither are abusive like in Burroughs memoir. Nicks best friend Lefty provides a much-needed outlet for Nicks ramblings, but Lefty lacks Nicks precocious intelligence, as well as his love of literature. Nick spends most of the book pining after a cute, smart girl. You

If there is one thing--ONE THING--that you can take away from this book, it is this:BOYS WILL LITERALLY GO TO ANY LENGTHS TO GET IN YOUR PANTS.We are talking federal laws here, people.And I loved every second of it.We first get a glimpse of Nick's dry, at times wicked humor, from the opening sentence:WEDNESDAY, July 18--My name is Nick. Someday, if I grow up to be a gangster, perhaps I will be known as Nick the Prick. This may cause some embarrassment to my family, but when your don gives you

God, this book was like soo painful to get through. It took me like 3 weeks to finally finish it. If you didn't know, this book is HUGE. It's like 500 pages. I took it with me to SF, as my old book, thinking maybe I'll make a dent in it if it's the only thing I bring (plus the awesome Jodi book). But no, I kept putting it off and finished the Jodi book in like 3 days. Anyway, I forced myself to finish it and while I feel successful in finishing something that was painful, it just brought nothing

This was another book that had its memory kind of ruined for me when I met the author (not the author's fault; unfortunate circumstances). If that hadn't happened, it could well be a five-star.I know that at the time I read this, I was thoughly convinced it was the most hilarious and entertaining novel I'd ever read in my life (though it is another long one with a somewhat anticlimactic -- hah hah hah -- ending). It's certainly up there with the classics of teenage-angst lit, and Nick Twisp is

Youth in Revolt: The Journals of Nick Twisp By Brianna WiemannYouth in Revolt: The Journals of Nick Twisp is an hilarious coming of age novel about growing up. Nick Twisp, a thirteen, turning fourteen year old, writes in his journal everyday, and throughout his writings, he takes us on an six month adventure of his life, revolting through being an youth. Nick questions things like sexual desire, girls, whether or not he likes his stepdad, going through puberty, and life in general. Its a very

This was THE book that - cliche - changed the way I read books.This book was MY book. For years I begged people to read it because I wanted them to feel the obsession. It is extremely important that all teenagers/adults read this book. The characters are totally absurd and amazing, and this hefty 500 pager puts many "age appropriate" high school reading list books to complete and utter shame. This book destroys "The Perks of being a Wallflower" and others that were a hit back in the late

It didn't work for me. While I understand that teenage boys think about sex every minute of every day... the main character of Nick is a grating personality that takes the fun out of sex. If his plotting only backfired on himself, I might have enjoyed it more; but the weasel victimizes his friends, his annoying parents, and completely innocent people. While I laugh and love annoying jerkish characters in many Adult Swim offerings (see: Aqua Teen Hunger Force & Frisky Dingo), those shows are
