Good Kids Audiobook

" Funny at the beginning, sad at the end. A good quick read. "

" So disappointed by this book! The beginning was promising: funny, and clever, and sad, but midway through the book I just stopped caring about the characters. Josh became sort of unbearable: a smug, navel-gazing Wes Anderson movie times 3. I wish the end had matched the start. "

" I think I liked this book? The ending was truly a disappointment, and while much of the book made me cringe (as in, do people really behave this way on a regular basis?!), I couldn't let myself put it down (I did finish it in a day... thanks, Spring Break). It was challenging to know who to root for, but I think that speaks strongly about his characters. Lots of wit and descriptions, but occasionally too much. It will definitely hook you, but most likely disappoint you at the end! "

" This was a book club pick and I was surprised at how long this "short" 200 page book felt. It was probably because the mood/tone of the book and characters is utterly depressing. Not the ending I was hoping for, although it did make sense in the context of rest of the miserable story. I love a good "coming of age" story but this one just fell flat for me. "

" I read this for a book club at work. Honestly though, I didn't really like it. The first half was witty and fun and interesting, but the second half was just painful. Do people really act like that? Speak like that? Think like that? It was trying to be too "edgy" or "hipster" or something, and it just didn't do it for me. But maybe I just don't identify with that lifestyle? Also- warning on the language if you are a sensitive reader. "

" Nothing earth shattering in this book, and by the end I had had enough of the characters. I did enjoy this author's style, which included some wonderful flashes of humor and humanity. "

" Too self-consciously written. "

" This book started off great but then I lost interest. Characters annoying and unattractive. Sorry to say because I really wanted to like this book more! "

" This was a quick read, but still a waste of time. Very tiresome main character. "

" Good premise with a promising beginning but unfortunately went way downhill. "

" I won this book in a giveaway. The characters were not very enjoyable, but the story is excellent and the author has a great way of creating an atmosphere! "

" liked, not loved. i might not be cool enough for this. like the dude more than the girl which is typical. liked the ending. hmmm yep, liked this more than i orignally thought :) "

" Not my cup of tea. Didn't get the humor. Thought I would enjoy this book since I hail from the western mass area but that didn't help. I could not have cared less about these characters. "

" I could see how others might like this book but I just wasn't into it. The story on the cover was much more interesting than the actual book turned out to be. "

" Really really wanted to love this book . Loved the characters. Just couldn't get into the second half of the story. "

" Seemed all to real and not real at all; a super enjoyable ride. "

" I wanted to like this book more but the main character was so annoying. "
