Age: High School

The geek humor was beautiful and any book with a nerd convention is a-okay in my book. The audiobook narrator's vocal choice for Doug was peeerfect and really helped the dead pan humor. I actually really enjoyed a lot of this book, but the occasional gay bashing was just ridiculous. Rex played it off as humor or "what kids these days are doing" but he pulled this card way to often in the book, using "gay" as a derogatory term and having the main character grossed out by the thought of gay people. It seemed like he tried to redeem himself with a positive lesbian character, but the negative was just too potent.
