The New Rules of High School

Rating:
Summary: Great read for teens, young people, or just about anyone
Review: I absolutely loved "The New Rules of High School." The wide variety of characters, with contrasting, but unique and very real and developed personalities made this book a must read. The plot is somewhat simple, but so very compelling. This book follows the main character,Max through his senior year of high school. During this he struggles to define himself as an individual after his breakup with a longtime girlfriend. The story of Max is very believable and readers will be able to easily connect with one or more of the characters in the book. Max's struggles throughout the story seem common and are very real. This story is a real page turner and you will not be able to put it down until you have finished it. I loved this book and can not to read more works by this author.

Summary: Well, umm...
Review: I borrowed this book from the library a while ago because I liked the cover and title. It wasn't great. Don't get me wrong, it wasn't bad. I've read far worse books than this. But there was nothing striking about it. The story is fairly original but there is no hook to the story. If you are one of the smart high schoolers who is frustrated with being stereotyped, you can identify with the main character Max. After making myself read halfway through, I was able to get into it enough to finish it off and the found the ending was pretty enjoyable. Blake Nelson speaks with the voice of a teenager in the true and unassuming way that is often beyond most adults. Basically, half of the readers will love this book, but the other half may find it... slightly lacking.

Summary: freaks and geeks
Review: Max is the editor of the paper which is half geeks and half punks. He has to keep them all in line. But they still do what they want anyway. Especially Lydia who tries to go out with him but then gives up and chases a cross country star. Max is the leader of everyone but he is lonely in a way, and all he wants is to get back with his ex-girlfriend Cindy, when that doesn't work he ends up with Danielle. There is a lot of twists and turns in the plot and you will not be able to put it down!

Review: Max really loves Cindy but when he tries to get her back it doesn't work. And meanwhile all his friends are the freaks of the school, even though he is straight edge. This book is so realistic about teenagers and they way they act and talk and think. It is great!

Summary: An Honest and Poignant Portrayal of Your Typical High School
Review: Once again, Blake Nelson has blown me away with an accurate portrayal of suburbia and public high school. A big fan of his since reading the book, Girl, I find that Nelson writes from the heart and gives each character in his stories the "breath of life". I related to the characters in the story and found myself often replacing their names with that of my peers. I definitely enjoyed this book and highly recommend it!
