I admit two things up front; I am a total nerd. I haven't read the book that Ruthless reviews.
I don't need to read the book now because A. the Ruthless review is in depth and from the sounds of things, WAY funnier, and B. being nerd in high school wasn't exactly a time period I want to relive.
Here is a money quote from the review;
"Paul even convinced a few chicks to make out with him, which seemed excessive for a young man so immersed in a nerd's paradise, but like so many of us, these "highlights" quickly lost all meaning once the girls involved refused to ever see us again or returned to an old boyfriend. Paul was far from unique in thinking that a first kiss meant commitment, engagement, and eventually marriage, but it still seems odd that we took things so seriously at that age. Some might be dismayed at the explosion of oral sex among kids as young as 12 these days, but there's something to be said for their casual approach to physical pleasure when just a generation ago, kids envisioned going from first base directly to the altar. If kids today aren't falling in love at the drop of a hat and can screw like bunnies without consequence, I'd equate that with much-needed progress rather than a sign of the apocalypse."
