(3) YA Each of three high school protagonists has a different kind of love trouble. While shifting perspectives make for a rather static novel, Burgess's understanding of male sexuality, emergent and otherwise, is completely authentic, often touching, and ruefully hilarious. Didacticism occasionally rears its ugly head, but no one will mistake this raunchy tale for a lesson in sensitivity.
