This book was written by a former Simpson writer and the writing definitely reflects this with its sort of TV show feel. It is written as if in real time. One page will be like two minutes in real life and it's great because not many book are like that. I truly feel like you could make this book into a thirty minute show and not miss out on one part of the book. Actual i just checked and it is a movie. Crazy, i need to watch that.
Will basically the book is a bout a nerdy valedictorian who has been in love with the same girl his whole high school career. He decides that during his speech at graduation it would be a good idea to confess his love for this popular cheerleader in front of everyone. This leads to a comical series of events that you would never expect. The cover of the book shows the various stages of appearance Denis (the nerdy valedictorian) will go through during his adventurous night.
The book is really great because the way it is written is so unique. Larry Doyle uses such a vivid explanatory style that you can see everything going on as if you were watching it. He describes things in a way that you would never think to describe them yourself. He says things that you only think in your head and it's really hard to explain so you just have to read the book.
The cover was illustrated by: Evan Dorkin.
