This is a good realistic fiction book for guys in grades 8-12. Main character James is realist who doesn't understand the comings and goings of the "typical" teens with whom he attends school. This book is written "diary" style, with each entry dated, plus authentic bits and pieces from James' life such as word-for-word conversations with others (like his ex-gf or a younger girl who's interested in him) as well as samples of essays he writes for his AP English class. I recommend this book to mature teen guys who enjoy reading, writing and who might appreciate James' "I hate everything" outlook on life.
