At first I did not like this book as much as the 6 before it: too much of been there, done that.

But it stayed on my bookshelf and from time to time I browsed through it. And I found gems of humor and good spirit. Growing fun about growing pains.

And this is exactly what is so special about "Zits". Continue growing, Jeremy!

In Road Trip!, Jeremy gets the van to run, borrows Mom's tires (without her permission), and takes it for a ride, getting up to a top speed of... 6 miles per hour.

Life will never be the same.

High school, chores, relationships, and food continue to dominate 15 year old Jeremy's life.

Jeremy: "I don't understand why girls obsess about their hair."
Sara: "It's because of YOU, you moron! Hair and shoes! They're all part of the ridiculous game of impressing males!"
As Sara walks off, Jeremy contemplates: "And ironically, we're mainly interested in the stuff in between."

Jeremy, Hector, and Sara at a "Fourbucks" coffee shop...
Sara: "Mmm... that smells good, Jeremy. What is it?"
Jeremy: "A grande mocha cafe Americano caramel miccato with cinnamon and extra whipped cream."
Hector: "So, basically, a hot candy bar in a cup."
Jeremy: "IT HAS COFFEE IN IT!"

High school life continues under the microscope in this edition of ZITS!

I love Zits... I so see both my son and daughter in Jeremy, the boy in the book.. It is so nice to know that I am not the only one in the world that has all these same issues.....

If you have ever had teenage kids, any of the Zits series will a smile to your face. Partly because of the humor the cartoonists see in the life of a 15 year old and partly because you have been there. After all, misery loves company and these cartoonists makes you realize that many of your experiences are every parents' experiences.

This is the best book ever! Laughs are every where and I love it! Jeremy Duncan who is a 15 year old guitarist is trapped by his parents rules (or at least he thinks) and doesn't like it. But when Jeremy takes the wheels off his mom's car and puts them on the 60's van he found in his car and driving it with his amigo Hector? Pick it up to find out!
