Skippy Dies by Paul Murray
Don't remember which one of you recommended "Skippy Dies", but i am about 1/3 of the way through it and really like it. Funny, sad, and certainly captures a lot of what we don't like to see about adolescents, and makes you laugh at all the quirks. Some spot on observations re: parents and schools/school politics also. Hope it stays so readable. Thanks to the one that mentioned it, and to the others it is a goody. - Tillie

Skippy Dies nearly "killed" me! It was extremely well-written and intriguing. Some of the more surreal stuff frustrated me and made me want to skim read. But the closer I got to the ending, the more it absolutely gripped me! Stayed up waaaay too late three nights in a row to finish. It is long and the print (on my library copy) was tiny, but it is well worth the read.
