Spanking Shakespeare

When I found out that my 8th grade teacher wrote the book, I had to read it! This book was actually funny; its about a low-self esteemed pessimistic[in my opinion] boy named Shakespeare Shapiro who deals with many problems like getting a girlfriend, being popular and dealing with raging male hormones that he freely expresses throughout the book. He is ridiculed by his name that his crazy parents named him, embarrased by the fact that his little brother is way more popular than him, and has two weird friends, one who talks about bowel movements all day[EW] and another who just likes talking about how Shakespeare and Neil are pathetic. The book is written in a memoir/novel form from the point of view of Shakespeare and it is a really funny to look in the point of view of a 17 year old boy who worries about girls,college and life in general. Good job jake!
