A very negative review of King Dork in a young adult publication, supposedly written by a teen, has the following damnation of the book:

The sarcastic humor will appeal only to mature teens with an interest in 1960s novels, heavy metal music, oral sex, and random beatings.

Yeah, all that stuff sucks. Either being a teenager is not what it once was (I blame that sumbitch Reagan), or this teen reviewer has no understannding of her audience.
