About this listen

Seeking revenge against a bunch of high school bullies, redress from an intransigent school system, and escape from their mundane lives, Jake and his friends Mick, Topher, and Whitey make plans to stage a mock Columbine-style school shooting, fake their deaths, and get out of the country. An audacious plan, but planned meticulously down to the last detail....

...except for one boy oversleeping, one stuck babysitting his 12 year-old brother, their getaway car being towed with the guns in the trunk, encounters with protesting mothers and bizarre cultists, and the annoying fact that no one bothered to bring any bullets.

As obstacle after obstacle is thrown in their path, the boys reassess their plans and their friendships. And when they finally make it to school, things really get interesting.

funny, oddly wholesome and wastes no time at all. simply what I want in a story. first book I've listened all the way through to the end in one sitting. absolutely wonderful and the (spoiler) narrative trick it uses by making you think it has a continuity error whem on reality it was a hint at the twist was amazing. wimpy amazing.

although to be fair, it's a little preachy at times and struggles to juggle its wide cast. but that's my only issues besides the narrator being bland.

objectively, pretty good. subjectively, top tier!
