A review by krpolaski
The Field Guide to the North American Teenager by Ben Philippe

2.0

I could barely finish this book, and the only reason I did was because I was in the car and had nothing else to read.

I always find it difficult to enjoy a book where I don't like the protagonist, and Norris was genuinely unlikable. He was just downright rude and whiny, to the point where his friends turned against him because of something he did, I felt like they were in the right. If your reader can't force themselves to be on your protagonist's side, then I think you've done something wrong. Also, the end is completely unsatisfying and made me like Norris even less.

Maybe it's just personal preference, but this book was just annoying to read.
