Rash

This book is perfect for next year's summer reading list! There is an excellent review of it on this lit blog, but my own brief thoughts are this:

This book is a look at a future that could happen. It is full of anger and football and I laughed out loud a bunch of times. There are teenagers being chased by polar bears and McDonalds rules the world. If you mixed Aldous Huxley, Kurt Vonnegut and Chris Crutcher's DNA together, you would get Rash.

I wouldn't be surprised if this became a classroom book - of course that would wreck it because then you would have to read it. So read it quick before some English teacher wrecks it! (I am kidding of course, I adore English teachers. Really!)
