Crash by Jerry Spinelli
5.0
I find Crash to be a perfect book for a middle school aged boy (particularly a football fan) and good for a quick read and a few laughs for any adult reading. The book made me laugh at loud in several spots from the sheer dumb middle school humor that caught me off guard directly after reading Paradise Lost which is not known for its humor.
There will be some who don't like the main character Crash, but I think most will be able to sympathize or even enjoy him despite his flaws. I remember being of the same mindset as him, believing in the stereotypes I saw on movies and TV and trying to live them out. I enjoyed the whole novel though I found the ending to be a bit abrupt.
