Coyote ugly!

Have you ever laughed at somebody because they "got THIS because I just looked at it and thought it was pretty?" I'm guilty of it. And I'm just as crazy sounding. To think that I took a look at the cover of a certain book, and then in Wal-Mart, or wherever that book happened to be sold at, just started laughing and said, "HEH HEH!! (poor impression of laughing, I know, but come on, just play along!) That looks hilarious!"...

Exceptionally Insightful

If you're looking for "safe" Christian reading with storybook endings and perfect people, look somewhere else. Bad Idea: A Novel with Coyotes is a raw, gritty coming of age tale that addresses issues today's teens face with refreshing honesty and laugh-out-loud humor. Griffin Smith sets out on a cross-country road trip from a small Midwestern home to his college in Southern California, accompanied by some unlikely traveling...

hate the title, absolutely love the book

This was a great read. I hope that other publishers take note of this type of book. It's real. It felt like a classic to me, like reading S. E. Hinton's Outsiders. I loved the characters and the raw intensity of their love and distate for each other. Definitely a must-have book.

terrific coming of age tale

The parents of eighteen years old Griffin Smith are divorced. His mom remarried Maxwell the "Mediocre" novelist; they live on a nonworking farm in Wyoming. His father is engaged to Rhonda the younger woman cliché right out of a novel. The other member of Griffin's extended family is his younger five year old brother. Everyone assumes Griffin has adjusted to separated parents living in two states, but he has not as they...

Great read!

Bad Idea is a good idea for anyone over 12 years old. I was entertained, challenged, and captivated all at the same time. It is a great story with diverse characters, situations, and settings. It takes you into the mind of a normal 18 year old kid dealing with real issues in a practical way.
