The title was what caught my attention first. It turned out to be a great book, really funny. I liked it so much I had to make my best friend read it too!
This book was great. It was funny, fun, charming, and never boring. I really like how the author nailed the drama-kid scene.
I love love love this book! As a theater person myself I loved the personalities and the antics. It was perfect, and I would recommend it to anyone who wants to laugh, and who has a creative sense of humor.
Marc Acito is one of my favorite writers... I followed his columns in the local queer paper and jumped on this first book (there's a sequel btw). In How I Paid for College he not only manages to write a coming of age story that isn't insipid; he covers the ambiguity of sexuality and the unique nature of theatre people.
A fantastic novel for a genuinely smart, funny, kind writer.
Jeff Woodman does a brilliant job with the narration. On occasion, the author's attempts at humor can be kind of forced, but it is largely a funny book. There's explicit of explicit sex (gay, straight and mixed) throughout; at times I fast forwarded through that, not because I'm a prude, but because I was interested in gettihng to the plot itself. Edward, the protagonist, is techically bisexual. However, I remained unconvinced that he was particularly attracted to women as such, more that he could relate sexually to women (like Kelly) whom he liked. I'd read another by this author.
