Very funny "High School Confidential" by Jeremy Iversen |
|
About a 24 year old guy who goes to public high school. He was on the fast "trak" and had been to private schools and Stanford when it hit him that his future job would be an 18 hour day in a tall building in Manhatten surrounded by grey skies and realized he never had a real childhood/teen life because of constant homework and making the grade.
Just thinking about some of these high school kids in this Orange County community and what they did makes me laugh all over again. If my kid do some of the stuff they do I'd be horrified. The scene in the biology class was too much, and the antics at Richard Nixon's place was a scream, and the girl with her mom at the mall where a guy she has a crush on works had me it stiches. I'm not too good at book reviews but you just have to read this and it will get your mind off war and water shortages....for a while anyway. Amazon doesn't have much on it and some bloke is selling it for $99.99 which has to be a typo.
