Reactions: This book was totally different and totally cool. I think I picked to read it because whenever I say the title, the song played in my head I like that song so it's alright if that happens!
As well there is a quote on the back that is really eye-catching:
I hate the world and everything in it. And that includes me.
It drew my intention because it's different and similar to the Blue Helmet where the kid was a delinquent and had to be sent to Toronto to live with his aunt.

Lesley Choyce has written a lot of books! For both adults and young adults. At least half a dozen have passed through my hands. I like to release them into the wild via BookCrossing for the Canada Day Release Challenge in an effort to get Canadians reading and appreciating Canadian books. This might be the first one of Choyce's that I've read. I don't read a lot of books geared toward young adults but I do enjoy them now and then.
This was a fast and thoroughly enjoyable read.

The story in itself was good up to a point, when it reached that point, it started to suck. Not to mention the ending was terrible. It just ENDED, just like that, just kind of slid down a ramp and stopped when it hit the floor. Not one of the better books I've enver read.
This is one of the best books I have ever read in my life, and I have read a lot. This book appealed to my twisted sense of humor and made me feel all warm and fuzzy inside. I love it!
I thought that this was a great book, The writer was really creative, So far this is one if my favorite books but still I thought it had a cheesy ending
