The New Rules of High School

I absolutely loved "The New Rules of High School." The wide variety of characters, with contrasting, but unique and very real and developed personalities made this book a must read. The plot is somewhat simple, but so very compelling. This book follows Max through a year of his life, while he struggles to define himself after his breakup with a longtime girlfriend. The story of Max is very believable and readers will be able to easily connect with one or more of the characters in the book. This story is a real page turner and you will not be able to put it down until you have finished it. I loved this book and can not to read more works by this author.

Once again, Blake Nelson has blown me away with an accurate portrayal of suburbia and public high school. A big fan of his since reading the book, Girl, I find that Nelson writes from the heart and gives each character in his stories the "breath of life". I related to the characters in the story and found myself often replacing their names with that of my peers. I definitely enjoyed this book and highly recommend it!

this is my first blake nelson's book and i am not disappointed. As i read through this book, somehow i'm connected. the author really put this book in perspective and i enjoyed it alot. at the beginning of the book, i was a little bored but after i got into the middle part, i couldn't put it down because it just seemed too realistic as if i go to Evergreen high school.overall, i think it is a great book to read but not good for book reports.

Max really loves Cindy but when he tries to get her back it doesn't work. And meanwhile all his friends are the freaks of the school, even though he is straight edge. This book is so realistic about teenagers and they way they act and talk and think. It is great!
