This review is from: Revoltingly Young: The Journals of Nick Twisp's Younger Brother (Paperback)

As the reader, you travel an insane journey as you live vicariously through the books main character. You must start with the authors first book, YOUTH IN REVOLT,the journals of nick twisp to even begin to follow this incredible story. The author is a literary genious who is unbelievibly imaginative. This is a must read for all those 80's and 90's kids who are sure to relate to at least one of the characters. Five Stars for the whole series!

This review is from: Revoltingly Young: The Journals of Nick Twisp's Younger Brother (Paperback)

CD Payne has an interesting style, and if you're reading this review, I can only assume you've read the original "Youth in Revolt" which is an utter classic.You need to read it and every other book in the series in order -- otherwise you just won't get this particular tome.

Nick Twisp begins life as an over-sexed nympho-like 14 year-old. In this novel we meet his (much) younger brother who is also an over-sexed 14 year old. Nice to know all the Twisps are virtual clones of each other.

That leads us on to Revoltingly Young which is entertaining as hell. It's closer to the first book than any of the subsequent novels and my constant chuckles had my neighbours on the plane giving me suspicious looks out of the corners of their eyes. It's a rehash of previous books in one way -- you won't be surprised at anything you read because you've seen it all before but sometimes an old comfortable pair of shoes is just what's needed. My biggest complaint about this book is that when Nick makes a cameo -- and his brief appearance can only be called that -- as a 30 year old adult, quite frankly he's not likeable. It would have been better if he hadn't been included. My other complaint is that ending feels terribly rushed and deux-ex-machina, which even the author hints at in a smug, self-satisfied way. Clearly Payne didn't know how to end his novel, so he threw and ending together. The charm of writing journal style means you don't have to contrive an ending.

This is a great novel. I recommend all the books of this novel(Youth in Revolt, Revolting Youth, Young and Revolting, and Revoltingly Young). Absolutely one of my favorite books I've had the pleasure of reading! Gives a memorizing conclusion to the novel . Hope you read all the books!
