Synopsis

Nick Twisp started out an honor student and ended up a fugitive. Youth in Revolt is the threevolume journal of Nick Twisp, California's most precocious diarist, whose ongoing struggles to make sense out of high school, deal with his divorced parents, and lose his virginity result in his transformation from an unassuming fourteenyearold to a modern youth in open revolt. As his family splinters, worlds collide, and the police block all routes out of town, Nick must cope with economic deprivation, homelessness, the gulag of the public schools, a competitive TypeA father, murderous canines (in triplicate), and an inconvenient hair trigger on his erectile response, all while vying ardently for the affections of the beauteous Sheeni Saunders, teenage goddess and ultimate intellectual goad. He's smart, he's horny, he's resourceful, and he's on the loose.

Ahh youth. Ahh revolt. Pleasurable read. Probably would have enjoyed it more and certainly would have far better benefited from its wisdom had I read it 20-25 years ago.......more
