This book was recommended by Jimmy Fallon on the Tonight Show. Although I eagerly anticipated it, I was very disappointed. Judd Apatow said the book was "hilarious." I didn't laugh once. I found the main character, Oliver Watson, to be pathetic. Although he pretended to be so to antagonize he distant, underinvolved father, his sheer genius only seemed to emphasize his alienation. As a critique on school elections and politics in general, the book holds its own and the ending is almost redemptive.
