Notes on a Near-Life Experience

Roosevelt Banks, Good-Kid-in-Training

LES WANTS the girl. He thinks shes amazing, exotic, perfect. But he doesnt know how to talk to her, kiss her, or make her realize that hes the best and only guy for her in the whole wide world.Once he masters these things, shell be his! Easy-peasy, right? The gulf between dreamgirl and realgirl is explored and made somewhat less vast in this bawdy yet romantic not-quite-coming-of-age. Teens will relate to 14-year-old Less hilarious and squirmy longings, and the fulsomely awkward efforts he puts forth to make his real life match his fantasies. The story alsoportrays the perils of unexamined hero-worship, and the strength and humanity of people that may seem plain and boring, but who stand up for what is right when called upon to do so. It is a tale both hilarious and thoughtful, in which, to paraphrase the old Rolling Stones adage, one boy figures out that even if you indeed cant always get what you want, if you try sometime, you just might find you get what you need.From the Hardcover edition.
