King Dork: Book of the Year or Totally Overrated?

King Dork

After reading glowing review after shining accolade, I finally sat down to read King Dork. All the cool kids were doing it, so I figured why not me too?

And then a week passed. And another. What was supposed to be funny, gripping and edgy was turning out to be a tad… boring. I loved the funny band names and the hopelessness of getting a girlfriend (at least one who’s willing to admit they’re together in public).

If you’ve read this, please share your thoughts! Vote for your favorite pseudo-band name in the comments and tell us your favorite parts! Or, if you're like me and didn't like it so much, tell us why!

And if you totally loved, loved, LOVED this book, vote for it on the YA/Teen Quill Awards.

Comments

I haven't read the book, so I can't comment on that. I do think the choices for the Quill Award are sorta surprising. What do you think?
It's interesting that the Quill Awards are by the people, for the people. However, all the titles up for the YA Quill awards (minus King Dork) really haven't been on the radar much, as far as I've seen. I hope The Book Thief wins!
