The Summer of Crud explored a lot of really interesting themes about early adulthood that I found really interesting, and LaPoma discusses mental illness and sexuality. This is something that a lot of young adults are dealing with, and I think it's a good conversation to have in a book, especially among men. 

But this book in the end wasn't for me. Personally, I'm just not into the kind of music that Danny and his friends are in. I'm fine with the occasional party scene, but this book was party scene and drinking and drugs, over and over and over again and it tired me. I'm usually not bothered by language either but there was just so much swearing that it was difficult to read. I felt like I was left hanging at the end.

First of all, I want to say that this book was not bad. The main character was indeed funny, and the trip itself full of exciting moments. This book is about a young man that just finished college, and he is questioning certain problems in his life while travelling. This is worth reading on a Saturday night when you do not feel like going out, as it is a fast and a fine read.
