A review by splendidlyimperfect
The Other Normals by Ned Vizzini
1.0
This book lost me at page 30.
"...we branch out from there to the far reaches of nerd culture. Not the things that women like too, but the things that only boys secretly enjoy when we're boys without shame, like Warhammer and Magic cards."
Way to alienate 50% of the population and promote the stereotype that the only geek girls are "cool geeks" who look cute in cosplay
UPDATE: I couldn't finish it. The protagonist is horrible and unsympathetic, it's super sexist, and the plot is stupid as hell. I loved "It's Kind of a Funny Story", but this was just...the worst.
