Publisher's summary

The groundbreaking novel that inspired the Broadway musical!

Jeremy Heere is your average high school dork. Day after day, he stares at beautiful Christine, the girl he can never have, and dryly notes the small humiliations that come his way. Until the day he learns about the "squip." A pill-sized supercomputer that you swallow, the squip is guaranteed to bring you whatever you most desire in life. By instructing him on everything from what to wear, to how to talk and walk, the squip transforms Jeremy from geek to the coolest guy in class. Soon he is friends with his former tormentors and has the attention of the hottest girls in school. But Jeremy discovers that there is a dark side to handing over control of your life - and it can have disastrous consequences.

Nothing like the musical. It’s so much better.

Personally I love this book, I found it after the musical, I honestly wished the cast from the musical would have taken their roles to this book. I wish the musical would have gone this route but it would be a little confusing. I like the twist ending and character development.

Great story, love the characters,

I love this a lot, and the characters and story were great! I also enjoyed how the Squip wasn't even malicious.

Listened to with my Teen

So there were parts that made it weird to read together, but this is the first book that my son enjoyed and begged to listen to. He HATES reading or listening to books as he is ADHD and loses interest. Not with this one and the reader’s performance, which was SO. GOOD. The author was so spot on with a teen’s behavior and so relatable for my son. With Ramon’s description at the end - it’s an obvious must read for life lessons for teens.

A Great story

Listening to this book has been a wonderful experience. It spoke to me deeply. As I am rather similar to the main character. It portrays teenage life accurately and the writing style is very funny. I laughed at least every ten minutes. The narrator is absolutely great. I loved how he changed voices for the different characters and the sounds that he had made. Really gave the book life. The squip actually reminded me of Venom, minus the physical stuff. The books has a great message overall. Taught me a lesson.

I disagree with some other reviewers

I’ve seen other people say they don’t like this books ending. I think it’s the perfect ending. I don’t think there could be any other ending too this book.
