“Scarsbrook does not shy away from difficult topics such as drugs, bullying and sexuality. His use of flashback is a very effective technique to move the plot forward … Readers will be fascinated with the frequent amusing references to history and popular culture such as Star Trek, To Kill a Mockingbird, and The Andy Griffith Show. Teenage readers will definitely enjoy this amusing novel which pokes fun at high school life while revealing what is really important in life!” Rated E for Excellent

“The omniscient present point-of-view allows the narration to dip into the heads of all the characters, providing insight and gently comparing their different mindsets … The interwoven web of characters drives the plot as much as the plot itself does, as is evident from the epilogue which details each character’s life after high school and thus brings this book to a close with the suggestions that, though greatness is thrust upon some, everyone is capable of it.”
