Alternately heartbreaking and starkly humorous, this teenager's brutal story of escape and desire for redemption is masterfully told by award-winning writer and film director Adam Rapp.
I'm what they call a Gray Grouper. The Red Groupers are the junkies and the Blue Groupers are the suicide kids.
Steve Nugent is in a facility called Burnstone Grove. It's a place for kids who are addicts, like Shannon Lynch, who can stick $1.87 in change up his nose, or for kids who have tried to commit suicide, like Silent Starla, whom Steve is getting a crush on. But Steve doesn't really fit in either group. He used to go to a gifted school. So why is he being held at Burnstone Grove? Keeping a journal, in which he recalls his confused and violent past, Steve is left to figure out who he is by examining who he was.

Under the Wolf, Under the Dog
Here's a fresh and disturbing accounts of a teeny winny life, where a father sits watching the reruns of Malcolm in the Middle in the naked. a brother who drowns in Robitussin cough syrup and Haldol with testicles hanging cold in the basement with bouts of suicidal mania. a teenage boy's sleeping tendency over listening to Interpol's song. of pissing in your own pants after having a drop of acid. of having exceptional SATs score and being a 'percentile elite'. of a gay guy who loves having sex with boys with HIV & gets depressed when he didn't contract the disease. or a boy named Shannon who kisses boys which involve his mouth & his tongue & his saliva for 10 secs & if asked 'Um. are you like gay?' he'd say 'Nuh-uh. are you?'.
a lot of people are saying this novel is the new-age Catcher in the Rye. while Holden Caulfield in Catcher is all pissed & whiny & sad & depressed, the 17 yr. old Steve Nugent here is well, unbelievably hilarious, brutally honest, and okay, a wee bit so whiny & down & cynical too. & he's a mathletic that's why a lot of teenagers should root for him over Holden. heheh! a Gray Grouper, he called himself, where he doesn't fit in neither the suicidal blokes nor in the stoned kids in Burnstove Grove, a facility for troubled kids. he has a father of a couch potato who doesn't shave, a brother who hanged & killed himself with a necktie. a best bud who kisses him on the lips. a little girl named June who's a con artist. a www.fuckyou.com bumpersticker on a skylark driven by a heroin addict & a whole lot of crazy stuff & what have you. this novel is both funny and heart-clenching. "Corporate America, here you come! Rock on, young Nugent!" is my fave snippet. and i think i'm gonna be reading 5 more other books by Adam Rapp. Five woofs to the protagonist, & i hope June will find her way back to East Foote.
