Little, Brown 2007
This is the story of Tom Mayo, nickname Miracle Wimp. Sixteen years old, further down on the pecking order, working his way through the vicissitudes of social life in high school. Should have been in Computer Animation, wound up in wood shop.
Where is this story going? Good question. Page by page there's a new vignettes, each no longer than a page or two,
A book of nerd angst (or, "nangst," if you will) with a meandering plot?I think I'm going to chalk this book up to the "Napoleon Dynamite Effect." I mean, the cover of the book even looks kind of like the cover of Dynamite DVD. Hmmm.
That's a good call, Brooke. I'd say that our hero here is a bit more socially adept but the feel is certainly Dynamite-ish.I like the words "nangst" as well. I think I'm adding it to my glossary.
"Nangst." Yes, that's good. David, your book-reviewing consistency impresses me greatly. You can really deliver -- and they're always worth one's time. Just one compliment before breakfast there, as I'm having trouble myself finding a blogging balance these days. How DO you do it?
