A quick and entertaining read. I did not find Charlie's character to be all that believable. It seems he glossed over many of the experiences that would typically be quite significant for a fourteen-year-old but dwelled on more mundane, routine events. Perhaps that was intentional; I can see how it might be given his nature.

I think this is a book that has something any teenager, or anyone who remembers being a teenager, can relate to. I think the intended young adult audience will appreciate that the book addresses many of the experiences of adolescence without being preachy or making moral judgments.

Overall, it's worth reading, but I don't think it will stay with me for long.
