I highly enjoyed this book and im am also 14. I could relate to the main character a lot. Not in the scenarios but by the way he thinks. I have adhd so the way Rapp describes the Add buzz is pretty realistic. I loved it. I just finished reading this book 5 minutes ago. I highly enjoyed this book and im am also 14.

No book has ever kept my attention as well as this book. Even kids who hate reading would read this book. It's an exciting and gritty story. I love Rapp's writing style. It feels like I'm stepping into the mind of a fellow 14 year old. Spectacular! The description is stellar as well. Just everything about the book is captivating. This is by far, the best book I have ever read. This book is simply amazing. No book has ever kept my attention as well as this book. Even kids who hate reading would read this book.

I do give some of his stuff to certain 8th graders who I know can handle it, but that's just on an individual basis. You can pair his work with that of E.R. Frank--they both write beautifully about gritty topics. Hi Emily,

I just finished my MLS and want to continue working with youth in a public setting. I picked up Punkzilla and love the raw and free-flow writing style, kind of like I love Palahniuk. Also having lived in Portland many years, the references to street kids are oh so familiar! I am just wondering about recommending this book -- who would you recommend it to? What titles would you associate it with? It is so tough in so many ways. I am trying to get a feel for how to best serve older teens as my experience has been primarily with up to middle school. Thanks. Hi Jen – I have been an elementary school librarian and am expanding my reading of YAlit – and loving it. I just finished my MLS and want to continue working with youth in a public setting.

I'm a big Adam Rapp fan too. I think that both melvin Burgess and kevin Brooks over in the UK write similarly gritty YA stuff too. Thanks for this review! I’m a big Adam Rapp fan too.
