"I had to kill Jerry Maddox."
Now it's getting good. No male writer would dare to portray a girl like this.

Not fond of what the author seems to be romanticizing. Really not into the narrator, Bean's, character either. Nor is the narrator's attitude over the validity of being a conservative right-winger. Really not a fan of the whole uncritical depiction of gender role fulfillment. Props to the author for avoiding turning a 12 year old into an unbelievable clueless dope b/c she's young like other authors do, though.
