Book Reviews of Be More Chill

Book Review: Be More Chill by Ned Vizzini
Summary: 4 Stars

This book is not at all like something I would normally read and when I looked at the front cover I wasn't sure whether I would enjoy it. But then I remembered, 'never judge a book by its cover', so I began to read and was pleasantly surprised when I realised I was quite enjoying the book.
The book focuses on one main character and a few of his friends and family. The main character - Jeremy, is a total geek, obsessed by computers, television and a beautiful girl at his school called Christine. He has almost no friends and no life until he finds out about something, which could change his life forever. This thing is a squip; an intelligent mini chip which when implanted in your body instructs you how to be cool and how to get what you want. It seems too good to be true, and you can bet your bottom dollar that it is!
This book is amazingly well written and will be quickly devoured by any teenager who is willing to give something a bit different a try. However some of the content is quite 'adult' with surprisingly detailed references made to drugs, alcohol etc, therefore I don't think this book would really be suitable for anyone under 13. I hope that this review might inspire you to go and get the book because I think it's an interesting and sometimes quite funny read.
