Nine Inches

I read Election in high school and liked it so I thought I would revisit Tom Perrotta. This is a book of short stories about a bunch of Suburban losers. The two stories I liked the most concerned the mother chaperoning a graduation party and getting along with a cop who had recently pulled her over. My favorite would probably be the teacher who confronts the kid who gave her a negative review on a rateyourteacher website. The ending was funny. Half the stories concerned high school. There were mixed feelings on others like the pediatrician. I liked his love for music but I couldn't look pass his infidelity. I gave this a 3/5 on goodreads. The crudity was really why but that's typical of adult books published nowadays. It's why I stick to children's books and classics.
