Das Buch ist in der Form des Tagebuchs eines pupertierenden Jungen geschrieben. Es macht Spaß,als Erwachsener in die Welt eines Jungen in der Egoperspektive einzutauchen, der Schreibstil ist hervorragend umgesetzt.

A cult classic from 1980s Britain. It is sort of depressingly funny and cynically realistic.When I was at school our teacher actually recommended we read this as part of our sex education course.
