About this listen

Youth in Revolt brings us the journals of Nick Twisp, California's most precocious diarist, whose ongoing struggles to make sense out of high school, deal with his divorced parents, and lose his virginity result in his transformation from an unassuming 14-year-old to a modern youth in open revolt.

As his family splinters, worlds collide, and the police block all routes out of town, Nick must cope with economic deprivation, homelessness, the gulag of the public schools, a competitive type A father, murderous canines (in triplicate), and an inconvenient hair trigger on his erectile response - all while vying ardently for the affections of the beauteous Sheeni Saunders, teenage goddess and ultimate intellectual god.

"Recommended for adults and mature young adult readers.... Fans of Salinger will especially appreciate the candid voice and vivid memories of this story." (Midwest Book Review)

misogynistic tasteless and not that funny

This is like the written version of American Pie, tasteless, tacky, no character development a tonne of tiresome boner jokes. Profoundly misogynistic cliche "woe is me, girls won't have sex with me" and "woe is me, my eyes were raped by looking at an ugly female" What a stinker!
