The trickiest thing about reading this book is probably the slang—depending on where you live, terms like miffed and the nasty may or may not be part of your vernacular. Other than that, though, things are pretty straightforward. The structure of the book is subtly revealed, which might be a little confusing for some readers, but this shouldn't detract from your general enjoyment of the story. Heads up, though, Shmoopers: there's a whole lot of sex and swearing in these pages.
