Beschreibung

Struck By Lightning: The Carson Phillips Journal follows the story of outcast high school senior Carson Phillips who blackmails the most popular students in his school into contributing to his literary journal to bolster his college application; his goal in life is to get into Northwestern and eventually become the editor of The New Yorker.

At once laugh-out-loud funny, deliciously dark, and remarkably smart, Struck By Lightning unearths the dirt that lies just below the surface of high school.

The film Stuck By Lightning is set to be released by Tribeca Film later this year and features Colfer's own original screenplay. Colfer also stars in the film alongside Allison Janney, Christina Hendricks, Dermot Mulroney, Sarah Hyland, and Polly Bergen.

It started promising to read about the life of a cynical teenager these days via his private journal. But when his thoughts are protrayed this superficially, the main character simply becomes an annoying über drama queen. And as the story goes along like a mediocre high school movie (think of glee episodes) it gets even harder to like him. Of course, there are a few punchlines that might make you giggle (even though it might be wrong) and you can easily finish the book within a short time because of its sassy writing style. But in the end you may wonder what to think of it as a work of literature. I just hope that the fiction aspect isn't too close to today's reality.

It's a nice read. For a first novel it's actually pretty great. But I had problems with the constant bitching of Carson... Ok, it's his diary and so on... I liked his character development and the ending was spectacular in its simplicity.
