A quirky book with heart

This is not a book for everyone. Some may find it silly or just plain weird, but it is one of my all time favorites. Simon proves to be an unlikely hero for the power crazed, business oriented Eighties. His innocent thoughts, feelings and reactions steer the reader through a rather adult story line. The A-CHOIR bunch certainly adds an adult theme to a supposed young adults book. The only reason I don't give this book Five Stars would have to be some of the characters. Names like Amanda Dollop and Philips Head are sort of hard to buy. I would definitely recomend this to anyone with an offbeat sense of humor with a taste for "higher learning"
