I Stayed Up All Night

I did. I stayed up all night to read this. I picked it up to 'start' it. Little did I know it would suck me in so fast. I won't give a report about Travis and his life or his love life or his low life friend/s. I will just say I loved this book. I was disturbed, educated, a little shocked in spots, moved, and did I mention sucked in? A really great read.

Amazing

Stark, disturbing

Exit Here is pretty disturbing fare-- these characters are very real, and to see them as they begin down a road of self-destruction is compelling and riveting.

awesome.

"Inhale. Exhale." And the events of Travis Wayne's life unfold. In Exit Here, Myers tell the story of Travis Wayne as he arrives home for the summer after his fist year away at college. Throughout the book, Travis struggles to come to terms with the truth and reality of his life and his future. Enough with my plot synopsis; read the book and find out what happens. Now, on to my opinion of the book: First of all, this book is awesome. I don't know why you are sitting on your computer reading my review when you should be reading this book, but if you need more convincing I will go on. When I first got the book, I was a little wary of the length. I mean, how can a book with over 400 pages be fun and exciting. Well, in Exit Here something happens on every page. After the first few pages, I didn't want to put it down; so I wasn't astonished when I finished it in 2 days. This book is a true page-turner. What makes the book so fun to read is all the pop-culture references. I can't remember the last time I laughed so much while reading a book; it was great! How can you not love a book that makes fun of a former member of NKOTB! AWESOME!!! It is not all laughs either. Besides it being a hilarious story, it also tackles difficult issues of growing up and learning responsibility while facing sex, drug, and alcohol abuse. I think it is sometimes hard for a novel to both be funny and have a strong thematic message, but Myers is able to accomplish this beautifully. He so seamlessly creates a world in which all the characters exist. By the time I finished the book, I felt like I knew Travis and all his friends. It's weird because I felt like their lives continued even when the book ended. Myers is truly a talented writer in this aspect. If you like reading good books, read Exit Here.

Exit Here is a must read!!!

Exit Here by Jason Myers is a captivating and intriquing tale about Travis Wayne, a character who lives a life few of us could only imagine. Myers goes on to tell a story about Travis' summer and his return back from college and a short but twisted trip Hawaii. Not only is Travis' life intriquing, but many of the other characters who make their way into the book play a great part in the story. It is fascinating to read as Myers tells a story about Travis Wayne and his struggle to figure out his life, while he also tries to juggle parts of his life that are already in place.
