Sonya reviewed How I paid for college by Marc Acito
Review of 'How I paid for college' on 'Goodreads'
5 stars
This book was more engaging than any other book I've read in the past few years.
It does indeed include sex, theft, and musical theatre (along with drugs and blackmail) which is probably what made it so great.
Well, topic-wise, that's what made it so great. Also great about it is the author trusting the reader to get (or not get) the jokes. There's no immediate explanation, which I appreciate.
This book is scandalous, but I loved it. I'm concerned that it may be too in-depth for YAs (LOTS of sexy stuff, some of it being of the gay variety), but I bet they do love it, but for different reasons.
I'm curious to read other reviews.
