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.

Amusing, and boys will enjoy it
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.
