Must Read! Extreme Elvin!

Extreme Elvin by Chris lynch is the best fiction book I've ever read. I would recommend this book mostly for kids going into, or in grades 8-12. I could relate to this book a lot because I am in my first year of high school, and so was Elvin. Elvin was a freshman in high school that had to learn what was cool, and what wasn't so he could earn a "reputation" and not be looked upon as an outsider. He was always trying to please the most popular kids and get invited to as many parties' possible. Going through girlfriends and breakups, Elvin was quite a character. The author Chris Lynch is a wonderful writer. He captures the minds of teens and has a hilarious sense of humor, yet an easy read for your enjoyment. He keeps your attention by showing what really goes on in a typical day in high school. There was always something going on in this book, never a dull moment! Chris Lynch keeps you always wanting more! I couldn't put this book down from the moment I started!

Extreme Elvin is Extremely Funny

Elvin is an overweight kid who is starting high school. Unlike his two best friends Frankie and Mike, he is not prepared for what high school has in store for him. He is overwhelmed by the concept of his weight, meeting girls at the school dance, and the peer pressure of some high school seniors who more or less are feared by everyone in the all boys school. This is a hilariously funny book that shows how Elvin's "relationships" with his best friends and mother (and to-be girlfriend) are unique and special. This is a great read, and anyone in jr. high or high school who has a funny, wise guy sense of humor and is not afraid to laugh out loud should read it.

Must-Read!

I really loved this book. The thoughts that crossed Elvins mind were entertaining and hilarious. I'm reading it for the second time now...

All teenagers must read this book

This book tells it how it is. This is Lynch's best book yet. An extremley funny, overweight teen named Elvin has a hilarious adventure with girls, friends and parties. A must have for all teenagers. You will never put this book away before you're done. I read it and I can relate to almost anything that happened to him. Any Jr. High or High school student will love this book. I recomend this book to everyone. Enjoy!
