    "Green's prose is astounding -- from hilarious, hyperintellectual trash talk and shtick, to complex philosophizing, to devastating observation and truths." -"SLJ", starred review

    "[Green's] a superb stylist, with a voice perfectly matched to his amusing, illuminating material." -"Booklist", starred review

    "Laugh-out-loud humor and heartfelt poignancy." -"Kliatt", starred review

    "Green delivers once again with this satisfying, crowd-pleasing look at a complex, smart boy and the way he loves. Genuine--and genuinely funny--dialogue, a satisfyingly tangled but not unbelievable mystery and delightful secondary characters."
    -"Kirkus"

    "Stellar, with deliciously intelligent dialogue and plenty of mind-twisting insights...a powerfully great read." --"VOYA "

    "Compelling." --"The Bulletin of the Center for Children's Books"
