Book review: ridiculous/hilarious/terrible/cool: a year in an american high school by Elisha Cooper




Book
: ridiculous/hilarious/terrible/cool: a year in an american high school by Elisha Cooper

About: Cooper follows 8 students for a year in a Chicago high school. With each chapter chronicling one month of relationships, sports, classes, college applications, the prom and graduation. Sketches accompany the text.

Pros: Writing is good. Epilogue is a nice touch.

Cons: Rapid-fire swutches between students and short length of book make it hard to really "get to know" any of them.

Grade: B
