Like Nick, young Noel Wescott strives for love and escape, but soon finds his life veering wildly off course. The laughs multiply as Noel must hit the road to dodge the cops and confront ever more Twispian challenges. And don’t miss Young and Revolting, Book 5 in the hilarious Nick Twisp series, which also is available now.

Myslím, že další knížku s Nickem v hlavní roli bych už nezvládla. Proto byl jeho bratr Noel příjemnou změnou, i když je ve výsledku skoro stejný pošuk jako Nick.

A cool new perspective on the story line. Well written as always. Love the characters and getting to see life through their eyes.

NICK TWISP??!! Nick Twisp's younger brother?!! Alll-right!!!

Not so fast, bucko.

It's just not as funny. It focuses mostly on regular adolescent male trials and tribulations, not as much happens for like the first 2/3, and it's just not as funny (though li'l bro does end up running away to join the circus). Only worth reading if you're already familiar with Nick, Sheeny, et all.

His sister was even more blunt, having warned Randy to maintain a minimum five-meter distance from her at all times or she'll call a cop. Yet he remains undeterred, being both supremely confident of his appeal to chicks and profoundly ignorant of the metric system.

Too bad, though, they didn't give us guys a little more control over our orgasm timing. I hear some lizards can do it for 12 hours, which may explain why no lizard has ever won the Nobel Prize in anything.

I was sad to see this book (and the entire Nick Twisp series) come to an end. Books 3-6, while extremely 'readable' are not quite up to par with 'Youth In Revolt' (books 1-3) but they are still a pleasure to read and they are laugh out loud funny. But I want MORE!! Please, Mr. Payne, let Noel (nee Jake) write more journals! I grew so fondly attached to all of the characters, it will be hard to let them go.

The first book will always be the best, but I do like the way this went and the adventures. Felt it could have been longer...

I love these books. I had my doubts about a 15 year time jump and new narrator, but it's essentially the same. Fun to see where characters ended up and I enjoyed the new generation.

This makes up for Young and Revolting.

this is a really funny book and it ties in the whole nick twisp series very well. i want a sequel to this.

This latest episode in the Nick Twisp saga was also very hard to put down. I liked it as well. It ended sooner than necessary for me, like all of the other ones.

Nakonec to nebylo tak špatné, jak jsem se obávala a dobře to uzavřelo příběhy z dílů minulých.

Viditelná účelovost kontra nečekaná zápletka i její rozuzlení. Množství opakování pochopitelné. Trochu mě zklamal "konec".
