A review by mechelehill
The Spectacular Now by Tim Tharp

4.0

a pretty good read. Sutter, a high school senior and perpetual partier always living in the "now" when faced with choosing between blatant honesty and kindess always chooses kindness. On his journey to self discovery, the school of hard knocks is inevitable.
I did feel it read a little like Catcher in the Rye, only not as dark and foreboding.
