Youth in Revolt (Compilation): Youth in Revolt, Youth in Bondage, and Youth in Exile Audiobook

" This book came to me with glowing reviews, but it didn't live up to them. The main character, a 14-year-old with a raging hard-on focused on The Love of His Life and nursing an ego that could bring down an airliner, was hilariously devilish in the first part. Unfortunately, in the second part, he crossed several lines that made me hate him ... and the book. By the third part, the book just got weird -- although the teen managed to somewhat redeem himself in my eyes. And the ending was just "meh". "

" In my all time top five. Can't recommend enough. "

" I absolutely loved this book when I was in high school. Were I to read it again now I may or may not like it as much. I'm guessing no. "

" This was an entertaining read in it's own special way. I enjoyed it and read it quickly but some parts did become annoying. It seems to go on a little too far although the story does keep you interested. I just found myself becoming bored at parts and having to pick something else up. Another problem with Youth in Revolt is the constant use of unnecessarily large words. However, other than that, I would recommend checking this book out for a look into the odd and funny life and sexual maturity of a smart teenager and his interesting friends. "

" This has got to be one of my all-time favorite books! The fact that they finally made it into a movie was just AMAZING to me! :) I LOVE IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! "

" Not bad, not great. It's pretty long and just kind of ends without a big conclusion--as if leaving it open for a sequel. FYI: The movie is awful. "

" I cried with laughter throughout the entire story. One of my favorite books of all time "

" I stuck it out to page 500 and feel I should receive some sort of a award. "

" This rating reflects the time and place in which I read this. Still, I'd hit it. Shit's hot. "

" This book is pretty darn funny! I'm now currious to see the movie version. "

" Excellent book about a young man going through adolescence, in Northern California, Nick Twisp is one messed up dude. Also, takes place in Ukiah, CA. Movie coming out sometime this year, can't wait. "

" Hillarious story. You love this kid, ya kinda hate him too, ya even want to be him, maybe a little. Definitely a good read. "

" A great read at 16. Ten years later, not so much. "

" Salinger-esque, this was one of my favorite books in like 9th grade. I've reread it at least a dozen times since and it always puts a smile on my face. I'm so happy they're finally making it into a movie. Michael Cera is going to be brilliant! "

" Funniest book ever. The humor is dark, witty, dirty, and dangerous throughout. I believe we all have a little bit of Nick Twisp/Francois/Carlotta, and even Sheeni Saunders in us at certain points in our lives. Everyone should have a copy on their bookshelf. "

" I read this back in high school but I remember really enjoying it. I still have my copy and am considering reading it again to see if my adult self will still appreciate the adolescent sex-driven storyline. "

" loved this book....the movie does it no justice..dont even bother watching it. "

" i think this book almost made me pee. about 35 times. "

" Every page is filled with brilliance. Humor and brilliance. I adore this book. "

" This cult classic is without a doubt the funniest and most bizzare coming of age book I have had the pleasure of reading. A laugh out loud classic. "

" Crude and overly pelvis driven. Every character, including our hero is an oversexed idiot. That being said, it had many funny moments, my favorites being the evolution of the Chevy Nova. "

" Funniest book I've ever read. "

" I picked up this up based on a review from a bookstore employee. It's awful. A serious editing job might have made it a more engaging read. The first 100 pages were pretty good but after that just turns into a NEVER ENDING series of madcap antics. "

" Great book, very witty, although unrealistic. "

" Hilarious diary of a perverted 14 year old boy. One of the best books I've ever read and would suggest it to anyone... except maybe my mom. It gets a little, how you say, vivid. "

" Ridiculous, in a good way. Crazy teenage narrator who keeps doing those stupid things teenage boys do, and gets away with it. I'm somewhat ashamed to admit I couldn't put this down. "

" This is one of the occasions of the movie being better than the book. The main character in the book is not near as likeable as in the movie. "
