Nick Twisp is man with a plan–which is to ultimately drive his selfish divorced parents insane, keep his hapless friend Lucky out of trouble, and bed his beautiful long-distance girlfriend Sheeni Saunders as soon as possible. There are only a few roadblocks on his highway to heaven–he’s 14, car-less, job-less and broke. But with sheer will and a very silly sense of humor, Nick can and will conquer all. Not too terribly deep, this over-thick novel is good for a few laughs on those long car-trips with your parents.
