Be More Chill

Book Title: Be More Chill
Author: Ned Vizzini
Copyright Date: 2004

As I'm writing this I'm pretty much finished with the book. The book is set up with the classic geeky boy (Jeremy) who no one really likes, and the one thing he wants, which is sex, he can't get. Not only can he not get that, but girls don't even like to talk to him. However, this story is a little different than the classic geeky boy stories are, instead of a classmate making him over, he pays for a super computer that's in the form of a pill. This super computer, called a squip, guides him through life, telling him what to say, wear, and do.

In the 3/4 I've read, the book is really good, and expect to stay that way in the 1/4 I have left. At this moment, everything is moving along smoothly with the squip, but as can be expected, something will inevitably go wrong. I can only imagine that with a super computer in your head, some sort of meltdown will occur.

Until something wrong does happen, the squip is working out great for Jeremy, he's hooked up with a couple girls, which has never happened to him until he got the squip. As well as his new found luck with the ladies, Jeremy's fashion sense and confidense has improved, he's acutally starting to like himself. Gonna go read that last 1/4 and watch the shiz hit the fan.
