Summary: People will judge this book in the wrong way
Review: Most people I know would be scared of this book because it speaks the truth. I have never read such an interesting look into one young man's life and Im glad Matt Kent decided to put it all down on paper. I don't understand these ignorant people who feel they have to write such nasty reviews about Gasstationthoughts on this page. Matt Kent is a true artist and your too blind to see it. Keep Writing Matt. Don't let these idiots get to you.

Summary: How did this kid find a publisher
Review: The book in question, "GasStation Thoughts" is the most contrived, wanna-be spiteful, indictment of suburban culture I have ever made the mistake of reading. What does a white kid from suburban Caldwell, New Jersey have to complain about, a long line at the Gap? I'm a white kid from Caldwell (though I moved away a couple years ago). And I'll let you in on a secret, I know Matt Kent. That is to say I've heard second hand stories, and seen him on the streets. Yes he can string "thoughts" together in sentence form, and like many his age he knows how to maintain a website. He also knows how to trick young teen kids his age into buying his contrived, Oh-Woe-is-Me bull, he even, sadly, tricked the publishers into buying it as well. On a personal note he has been arrested not only for terroristic threats but for abusing the misguided girls who fall for him, or fall for his sham image. Yes Matt Kent likes to hit women, in addition to "rocking the boat". So before you waste your money on this "book" know that the author doesnt believe in his words any more than Dr. Seuss lived by his.

Summary: At times insightful, at times self-indulgent
Review: This book is a must-read for parents of angry teenagers. Matt Kent perfectly vocalizes the thoughts of suburban angst-ridden kids, lashing out against everything and anyone. At times insightful, at times self-indulgent, the book is a fantastic window into the mind of affluent, frustrated suburban youth.Kent was arrested for what he wrote on his website. An unfortunate mistake on the behalf of the authorities, since the arrest only gave Kent more fuel for his hatred. The arrest made this book possible, so the police really only succeeded in spreading Matt Kent's words to an even wider audience. I'm not going to say this book is well-written--Matt Kent is very much obsessed with himself and his own self-satisfied righteous anger--but it provides an important perspective on how spoiled, frustrated youth are dealing with their affluence and priviledge.

Summary: UNREADABLE
Review: This book is unreadable. The author's painfully limp and pre-teen prose is only eclipsed in awfulness by his seemingly infinite ignorance and lack of creativity. I found this book to be shocking and offensive, yet not in the way the author intended. A truly terrible example of middle class pretension

Summary: Written by a Raving Lunatic
Review: This book is written by a raving lunatic, it is no surprised that this Matt Kent obsesses over "abandoned asylums" in his websites. It's wackos like this that have caused such destruction in our country. Please do not support a nutcase, otherwise you're be fueling the hatred and ignorance.

Summary: This Book Is A Masterpiece
Review: When I frist started reading Matt Kent on his website... I was shocked to find someone who is truly in touch with the way I think and feel. As I followed his writing he sucked me firther and further inside of his mind and now after just finishing gasstationthoughts I am totally in love. Matt Kent more than just an author he is the next great artist and he will go down in history for his words because they truly are intellegint and beautiful.
