It’s been a relatively long time since I’ve read a funny novel, so reading this was quite refreshing. The story is told in a
unique way, it manages to be funny and still present a realistic interpretation of high school.
The story is told though the journal entries of a social outcast named Mike “Storky” Pomerantz’s. Mike is our insecure protagonist; he is going through a lot of problems and just wants to get through high school without being completely humiliated, is that too much to ask for? The answer is usually yes, it seems like he keeps finding ways to embarrass himself, and it can often be quite funny.
It turns out that despite being highly intelligent “storky” has a lot to learn if he wants to fit-in in high school, and also a lot to learn about people and life in general.
One thing I like about this book was that since it was written in journal entries, the reader can clearly see the character changing. This is an interesting book that’s quite hilarious and great for anyone entering high school (though it might make more sense for the guys). I would recommend this to anyone 13 and above, and I give this book a 4/5.
