All the Dirty Parts by Daniel Handler
4.0
Still thinking...
Update:
Lemony Snicket author, eh? This could be interesting since it's billed as an adult book.
This is an intriguing book in that there are many questions in my mind: Because I'm old and don't really know, are today's teens that much more aware of their own sexuality and experiences? Is this a book a librarian could recommend to a mature teen? And what will younger teens think if they read it because they are Lemony Snicket fans? Since is billed as a book for adults, will it appeal to them?
This could easily appeal to older teens, especially if they read the Snicket books when younger; however, it's most definitely a book with explicit adult content, even if the main character is a teen. I'll be very curious to see if youth services librarians would consider giving this to any of their teen readers.
With all of *that* being said, it reminds me a little of when I read Judy Blume's "Forever" although "All the Dirty Parts" is much more graphic.
Thanks to the publisher for the advance reading copy.
