Tom Perrotta
Never before on audio! The beloved bestselling dark comedy that became a Reese Witherspoon screen classic, Tom Perrotta's breakthrough novel about the American democratic process as brought to life in a suburban New Jersey high school finally comes to audio, on the eve of the Scribner and S&S Audio publication of its eagerly-awaited sequel, Tracy Flick Can't Win!
Tracy Flick wants to be President of Winwood High. She’s one of those ambitious girls who finds time to do it all: edit the yearbook, star in the musical, sleep with her English teacher. But another teacher, staunch idealist Jim McAllister, a.k.a. “Mr. M.,” thinks the students deserve better. So he persuades Paul Warren—a well-liked, good-hearted jock—to throw in his hat. But that puts Paul’s sister Tammy in a snit. So she runs too, on an apathy platform, before starting a real campaign...to get herself kicked out of school.
The idea was to educate the students at this suburban New Jersey school in the democratic process and the American way. But with all the sex scandals, smear campaigns, and behind-the-scenes power brokers at Winwood High, it doesn’t look as if they need any lessons....

This isn’t War and Peace, but it’s a pleasant read made even better by a good cast humanizing the Characters. Four Stars. ****
Well written and performed Light Reading

This audiobook also has some great voices reading the different POV characters and it goes a long way to making the listening experience even more fulfilling. It's not quite a full audio drama, but it's more than just one person trying to handle all the character voices on their own.
Pretty solid overall.
A solid listening experience

What to say about this book? This was a VERY quick and easy read/listen. Personally though, it kind of annoyed me. Why? I'm not really sure. I was actually trying to figure out what it was about the book that had me feeling put out at the end of it instead of any other feeling which might have been better.
If I really think about it, there really was not ONE likeable character in this book. I especially didn't like Tracy Flick, but really, the other cast of characters were pretty awful as well. Whether it was self-centeredness, complete and utter leering behavior and actions from adults who should have known better, or the fall from grace of the one character that we, as the reader, thought was the "nice guy" - it was just disappointing.
I did listen to this on audio and apparently this is a brand new release with a full cast of narrators. The narration was fine, I didn't have any problems with it, but I don't think I'm going to be moving on to the next book in the series. Especially since Ms. Flick seems to be the main character in that one.

Unlikable yet Sympathetic Characters Abound

This was a cute quick read. Some of the narratives of adult men disgusted me but wasn’t too surprising. And was how it was back then. Also, it depicted high school life quickly but pretty accurately. Not a bad fast read if you like a quick book.
Quick read, pretty accurate
