About this listen

 Nick Twisp started out an honor student and ended up a fugitive. Youth in Revolt is the three-volume journal of Nick Twisp, California's most precocious diarist, whose ongoing struggles to make sense out of high school, deal with his divorced parents, and lose his virginity result in his transformation from an unassuming 14-year-old to a modern youth in open revolt.

As his family splinters, worlds collide, and the police block all routes out of town, Nick must cope with economic deprivation, homelessness, the gulag of the public schools, a competitive Type-A father, murderous canines (in triplicate), and an inconvenient hair trigger on his erectile response, all while vying ardently for the affections of the beauteous Sheeni Saunders, teenage goddess and ultimate intellectual goad. He's smart, he's horny, he's resourceful, and he's on the loose.

Critic reviews

"An unstintingly hilarious black comedy...has all the earmarks of a classic." (Los Angeles Times)

"C.D. Payne has penned a take-no-prisoners book, and Paul Michael Garcia is the perfect reader for it.... Garcia has a little smirk in his tone that perfectly underscores the actions of young Mr. Twisp." (AudioFile)

what an excellent crazy ride. I really love this collection. you were once a child. All of us suffer decisions of grandeur, just not like this. if you ever wanted or needed anything as badly as Nick Twisp then you'll get it. if you were a teenager boy once then you'll get it.

the crazy farce and pacing . The drama.

The book is god awful just dont buy this book not worth it it felt wrong listening to a teenager talk about his knob every other line if it was in a funny way that's would be fine but it just felt creepy like the author spent so much time thinking about teenagers genitals

terrible book
