Great book. But full of dark humor.
Great book! One of the funniest books I have read in a while. Absolutely great. It is more dark humor though, so be for warned. This book is great for mature teens. The is lots of language and sex. As well as some drug use. The sex aspect is described in pretty much full detail. And the language can get pretty strong. But still a great book.

I found this book hard to understand
At times it was very comical, but there were so many inside jokes "King Dork" constantly brought up and extended to great length that if you missed a page you'd be like: HUH? It's totally surreal in the since of the school worshiping just one book, but it's ideals on bullying are not. This book is loaded with profanities and semi-graphic depections of sex. 15 and up is probably a good starting age to read this book.

Hmm...
I read King Dork, and as much as I liked it, I definitely don't think it's a good choice for kids under the age of 14 or 15. If King Dork were a movie, it would definitely be rated R. The main issues are sex and language. There's somewhat constant language, and there are some strongly sexually explicit parts. Not for young kids, but otherwise, a very good book.

Excellently written and hilarious
This is a great novel, and I highly reccommend it to anyone who is in highschool or has been. I would also have anyone who is going to be in highschool too, but this has too many sexual situations that are ddescribed in good detail, and the fact that everyone gets high or drunk (or at least talks about it all the time), that I agree with the CSM age.
