Teen Angst... Naaah by Ned Vizzini
Reviewed by Brianna Bicho
Teen Angst... Naaah, a "quasi-autobiography" by Ned Vizzini, is the shiznit (I heard that on a TV show once... I'm not sure if we're allowed to say it. If not, I'm sorry). This book, which consists completely of random stories from the author's high school life will make you laugh until you can't see the words anymore because your eyes are tearing up!
Ned was classified as a total loser, but he is so easy to relate to and down to earth that you can't help but love him. He talks about everything from Magic: The Gathering, to coming home intoxicated, to going to Hooters with his dad and little brother on a family vacation. See, I knew you'd be interested.
Eventually, Ned does get a girlfriend, but you have to read the book to fully appreciate his thought process through the many complications and dare I say "bumps in the road" along the way. This book is awesome and if you - as Mr. McEvoy would say - "have a fascination with other people's misfortunes" (who doesn't?) then you should most definitely read it. I guarantee you'll love it... unless, of course, you know... you don't.
