43. Castration Celebration by Jake Wizner.
Ahaha, that would be my brother. I couldn't resist.
I actually really liked this book. It was quite different from most teen books. It's about a girl who goes to this summer camp type place for actors and writers etc. She is writing a play called Castration Celebration. It shows her play as she's writing it and it's quite funny. She incorporates what goes on at camp into her play and it all just goes together very well. It's a musical play so she writes songs for it and they're all clever and stupid and awesome. It's all stupid perverted humour, but what's not to love about that? There are serious elements in it too though, obviously.
She meets a guy the first day there and the book is from his and her perspective..at the same time..it was really odd. I'd never seen a book written this way..because it doesn't switch perspectives by alternating chapters..it's just done that way throughout paragraphs. Like..it will show what she's thinking and what he's thinking all at the same time. I liked it though.
But yeah, she's a funny girl that most people don't take seriously and the guy is a typical guy, I guess, in the way that he's really into girls and isn't afraid to hit on anyone that he has his eye on. But he gets really into her etc etc. But it's FUNNY not really depressing ever. That's why the book is good. They're both sarcastic smartass bitches and we all know that I love sarcastic smartass bitches!
The book also involves her three roommates who are all pretty different and then his roommate who is pretty much a stoner guitar player. They're all like-able, though.
QUOTES!
"You know that book Twilight?"
"I've heard of it."
"It's about this vampire who hooks up with a teenage chick. They never do more than kiss, but I was thinking if he ever went down on her while she was having her period it would be like winning the fucking lottery."
AHAHAH WIN.
"There are gay monkeys? That's so cool."
"Of course there are gay monkeys. There are gay monkeys, gay gorillas, gay giraffes, gay penguins, gay aardvarks. You think only people can be gay?"
"Wow! I never thought about that before. Do you think there were gay dinosaurs?"
"Have you seen Barney?"
Ahahah, epic win.
