It took me two tries to get into this book.  The first time around I only read 5 pages and then was so disgusted by the mispellings and grammatical errors, I threw it in the “yard sale” pile.

I woke up the next morning and figured I would give it another go.  I really don’t like not finishing books.  The first 5 pages were the same.  Made me upset and I had to stop all the time to figure what what he was trying to say.  However…

After those 5 pages, this book is not all that bad.  The mistakes are greatly reduced and the grammar (while still bad) was still somewhat forgivable.

This is a good story about two high-schoolers who go through finding themselves, accepting what they find, and then thrusting their find into the world.  It’s a nice quick read.  It only took me 1.5 hours to get through the book as it is easy-going and pretty free flowing.

That being said, I do have two complaints.  The first is the decisions the boys make and the reaction of their peers during the prom wasn’t very well explored.  If this book is being touted and giving a glimpse of what goes through people’s minds, the glimpse was far too narrow and brief to make its mark.   The book as it is written fails for me for that reason.  Adding more chapters and really exploring the characters hearts and soul would have made it a deeper read.

The second complaint would be the cover.  It’s horrid.  In a time where book lovers get thrown hundreds of books a week as potential reads, the covers are the only thing they have to go by.  The title is misplaced, the font is horrible, and the art looks like it was drawn by a elementary art student.

All that being said, it was a quick, easy read.  Nothing too memorable (if at all) but still passable.
