  <default_description>&lt;b&gt;Three adolescent boys with a single goal: see a reallive naked girl. The result? Razor-sharp, rapid-fi re, and raunchy, of course. And beyond hilarious.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Fifteen-year-old Matt Gratton and his two best friends, Coop and Sean, always set themselves a summertime goal. This year's? To see a real-live naked girl for the first time &#8212; quite a challenge, given that none of the guys has the nerve to even ask a girl out on a date. But catching a girl in the buff starts to look easy compared to Matt's other summertime aspiration: to swim the 100-yard butterfly (the hardest stroke known to God or man) as a way to impress Kelly West, the sizzling new star of the swim team. In the spirit of Hollywood&#8217;s blockbuster comedies, screenwriter-turned-YA-novelist Don Calame unleashes a true ode to the adolescent male: characters who are side-splittingly funny, sometimes crude, yet always full of heart.</default_description>

    <body><![CDATA[It was an okay book, but I could find at least 10 ways to improve it. First, it was incredibly unrealistic that the 15-year-old main character, Matt Gratton, couldn't do even one length of the Butterfly -- and he was actually on a swim team. He was so upset about doing a 100 Fly, so much that he tri...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/61776101">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[I was eager to get Swim the Fly by Don Calame. Because it is, in a word, hilarious. But being an English major, I can not be concise and therefore must use words to describe this novel: uproarious, rollicking, fun, and side-splitting come to mind.<br/><br/>Matt's about to spend the summer the way ...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/51769772">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[2.5 (depending on the person). A book for teenage boys along the lines of American Pie--gross, sexual, and funny.  Three 15-year-old boys--Sean, Coop, and Matt(the narrator)--have always made a goal for themselves over the summer. This year: see a real girl naked.  The problem: none of them have gir...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/73742721">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[The perfect by-the-pool summer read.  It's side-splittingly funny.  (And I don't say that about a lot of books, which is the main reason why I rated this 5 star.  That and I was never, ever bored reading it.  This book, however silly, was well crafted.)<br/><br/>Matt and his two cohorts—Coop and Sean—have...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/58029050">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[The term &quot;laugh-out-loud funny&quot; has become a cliche, but that's exactly the way I'd describe this book.  It's a fast read, full of 15-year-old boy humor.  (I have never felt so close to being in the mind of a teenaged boy.  Scary, it was! :-) )  I love books in which the hero thinks he wan...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/75724079">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[I laughed so hard when I was reading this book...it's exactly how I picture 13-14 year old boys think when girls aren't around.  I had read reviews of this and everyone kept saying how funny it was, so I thought I'd see for myself.  I agree, the whole story is hilarious.
