I Love You, Beth Cooper

This is a fairly light and entertaining read. While the story's plot line may be movie-cliche familiar, and the characters are not developed much beyond the typical high school stereotypes, the humor on display rarely fails to please. Doyle illustrates to hilarious effect the one crucial life lesson that every American adolescent male must awkwardly learn to contend with–the shocking realization that the girl who actually sits next to him in his class will rarely match-up with the mythological girl who resides in his head.

This book was hilarious. High school geek and valedictorian Denis Cooverman veers from his speech to declare his love for head cheerleader Beth Cooper who he's been lusting after since 7th grade. It's news to her and as soon as his speech is over some crazy events are set into motion. This book had me trying to stifle giggles on the train (people were probably slowing inching away from me). It's a very fast read. I basically read it over the course of three days. It may possibly make it to the movies. Regardless, this was funny stuff.
