"I don't know if I have a very bad sense of humor or if this book was actually funny. The sarcastic comments were amazing. There are a few sentences here and there that really show the age this book was written. There were comments here and there that would not be appropriate in today's world. Our main character is extremely flawed, but I found him to be quite humorous and often right about how high school really is."
