If there was any book that should never have gone out of print it was this one. Just thinking about it makes me laugh. Definitely one of the best books ever written. It is perfect for teenagers and those of us older who like to pretend we aren't and just need a good laugh. It captures the high school perfectly and lets us have fun with it.

This book is one of the better ones that I have read. In fact, it's one of the best. Okay. The story is about these guys who call themselves the Obnoxious Jerks, (if you read the book, you'll see why). They are at this school where there's all these rules and regulations. They just try to change the rules or tell what they think of the rules by doing protests and stuff. They called them jerk-outs, and woah, are they funny. At one point, actually the beginning starts at this point but then backtracks to show how they got to this time, they wear skirts to school to protest the no shorts rule. Remember, these are guys we are talking about here! There are also lots of conflicts within the story, of course without a conflict, what do you have? Nothing. One of the biggest conflicts is between Leslie "The Iceberg" Freeze and Back's best friend Joe. All I can say is that you need to read this great book. It shows the smart people with the imagination and perseverance to get things done. This book should go to all the weirdo's out there. The smart ones that are a little offbeat, not the same as everybody else. As a weirdo myself, I can identify with this book. It's a good book that everybody should read. I give this book three thumbs up.

It's a shame this book is out of print. It captured high school perfectly. I still check it out of the library when I need a good laugh.

This book is a story about a group of misfits in a normal school. These guys formed their own club called The Obnoxious Jerks, and now they're out to do stuff! What kind of stuff, you ask? No one really knows!!! But they start with dishing out cow brains and end up wearing skirts to school as a uniform protest. This book is hilarious. It had me laughing for hours.
