How I Paid For College – Mark Acito
Recommended by:: Jonathan Whiting
Star Rating:: ****
Quick Review::
Ferris Bueller Meets Adrian mole in a hilarious novel set in the 80's. Meet Edward Zanni, a teenager in New Jersey, USA whose aspirations to study at the prestigious Julliard School in NYC are quashed when his father refuses to pay his tuition fees. Thus ensues the subtitle of the book
" A Novel of Sex, Theft, Friendship, and Musical Theater"
Edward and his merry band of friends go on a mission to get his entry to musical theater by any means possible!
I thoroughly enjoyed this book, a cracking debut by author Acito. It is exactly my kind of humour and my style of writing. An easy, laid back read full of sex, theft and friendship :)
I heartily recommend it to you.
