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.

This is the funniest account of high school I've read in a long time. Rarely does a book make me laugh out loud, but King Dork did several times throughout. I like how there are several interlocking conspiracies and mysteries. It makes you want to keep reading. However, there are sexual topics in this book. For example, the main character's derogatory nickname is Chi-Mo, which is short for child molester(but, for the record, he does not molest children, people just say that to make fun of him). There is also oral sex, teen sex, and an entire illegal teen porn operation run by a teacher . Despite all of that, this book is absolutely brilliant. I love that the main character is involved with rock and roll and has a band with his friend Sam Hellerman. Tom is somewhat of a hero in the end, which I also like. I don't think I'd give this book to anybody under 13, but for teenagers, this book is great!

Very amusing. I listened to the audio version, but I thoroughly enjoyed it. I liked the protrayal of high school and I even learned a little bit about rock and roll. That being said, it is a book narrated by a teenage boy and has some swearing and discussion about sex, and a scene where the main character fondles another. The book also portrays what it is liked to experience mild bullying.

i like it bc its get to me and its a fun and great book.

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.

im in 6th grade and honestly, kids hear worse things on the playground.
