  <default_description>Liam Geller is Mr. Popularity. Everybody loves him. He excels at sports; he knows exactly what clothes to wear; he always ends up with the most beautiful girls in school. But he's got an uncanny ability to screw up in the very ways that tick off his father the most.          When Liam finally kicked out of the house, his father's brother takes him in. What could a teenage chick magnet possibly have in common with his gay, glam rocker, DJ uncle who lives in a trailer in upstate New York? A lot more than you'd think. And when Liam attempts to make himself over as a nerd in a desperate attempt to impress his father, it's his &quot;aunt&quot; Pete and the guys in his band who convince Liam there's much more to him than his father will ever see.</default_description>

    <body><![CDATA[Well, &quot;Fat Kid Rules the World&quot; still remains my favorite K.L. Going book thus far, but this one was pretty good. Liam wasn't particularly likable to me, but the premise of his character is pretty amusing: a guy who screws everything up because he's too &quot;perfect.&quot; Well, in the so...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/60418943">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[When Liam is assigned an essay on his greatest talent, there is no question in his mind what he will write about.  There’s one thing in life that he can do better than anyone else: screw up.  Even when Liam TRIES to screw up, he screws that up.  He’s the King of the Screwups.  And so it’s no b...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/52309144">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[While I found this book a bit slow to get into, and sadder than the blurbs suggest (they bill it as a laugh out loud--but the father's gross cruelty to his son made it very painful to read at time), but I liked the idea of a well heeled boy, very fashion conscious and &quot;on top of his game&quot; ...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/54109804">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[Why did I like this book so much? Because it was different. I like that Liam Geller likes fashion but isn't gay. I like that his uncle is a DJ and plays in a glam rock cover band. And that his uncle has a boyfriend who turns out to be Liam's English teacher.

After his father kicks him out, his ex-supermodel mom arranges for his father's estranged brother, a gay glam rock DJ, to house him for &quot;a little while.&quot;...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/49021046">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[I enjoyed King of the Screwups. I have only read one other book by K. L. Going , Fat Kid Rules the World, which I also liked. Liam is a unique character in the fact that he’s popular. (The main characters in YA lit seem like they lean toward the not-so-popular crowd, unless you get into the fluffi...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/58631753">more...</a>]]></body>
