[Book Review] SETH BAUMGARTNER'S LOVE MANIFESTO by Eric Luper
Beth reviews SETH BAUMGARTNER'S LOVE MANIFESTO by Eric Luper (Balzer + Bray, 2010)
It's been a bad summer for 17-year-old Seth Baumgartner. His girlfriend dumps him during lunch at Applebee's (to date their shovel-chinned waiter), he's been fired from his fourth summer job and he spots his father with a woman who is NOT his mother. His friend, Dimitri, is no help but their conversations are humorous.
Seth, needing a better outlet for his thoughts, turns to podcasting on the internet. He covers normal high school boy topics--cleavage, music, his ex-girlfriend, and also his father's affair. Trouble starts when others start to listen to his podcasts. Can he make amends to those he hurts? Get a job he can keep? Win the country club golf tournament and the prize scholarship with his father? Will he get another girlfriend?
Notes: Genre: Humor, Reading Level: High School
