THIS IS THE FUNNIEST BOOK I HAVE EVER READ.

It was laugh-out-loud, I-am-out-of-breath-and-my-stomach-hurts kind of funny. Darcy Pele Frantz Walker is the boy I wished I had in high school as a best friend: hilariously sarcastic, smart, observant and obsessed with Shakespeare. His parents were just as amazing and funny especially the discussions they had and his father's weak attempt at the dreaded sex talk.

One thing is for sure: I know what I will be picking up if I ever feel depressed someday.

Oh and be sure that I am going to hunt down every Steven Herrick book if they are as good and funny as Slice is. (

Cute, but unusual. The style wasn't like anything I've read before, and it took a great while for me to get into it.

A quick and cute read, though. (

A disappointment for me. I love Herrick's verse novels, not his prose novels. It was far too light in comparison. The most moving section of the story occurred with Noah's father and a chess match near the end. Also - unfortunately - Herrick mentions librarians and card catalogues in one sentence - that immediately dates the book back at least 20 years. The Mathematics cover is a beautiful inviting sky blue with the juicy watermelon rind - but it overstated the vibrancy of the story within.
Not my favourite. (
