First of all, this book is awesome. No joke, you should stop reading my review, get off your butt, get the ACTUAL book, and read it. When I first got the book, I was a little hesitant to read it because of its length. I really didn’t feel like sitting there and reading a book that was so big, just for an English assignment… Little did I know it was nothing like that…In Exit Here something happens on every page. And just after reading the first few pages, I didn't want to put it down; so I wasn't astonished when I finished it in less than a week. This book is a true page-turner.
One of the things that makes the book so fun to read is all the pop-culture references. I can't remember the last time I laughed so much while reading a book.
It is not all laughs either. Besides being a hilarious story, Exit Here talks about difficult issues such as growing up and learning responsibility while facing sex, drug, and alcohol abuse. I think it’s challenging for a novel to both be funny and have a strong thematic message about life, but Myers is able to accomplish this beautifully. He creates a world in which all the characters exist. By the time I finished the book, I felt like I knew Travis and all his friends, and that I could relate to everything...
Myers is truly a talented writer. If you like reading good books, read Exit Here, Trust me.
With all my love and affection,
