RaveSchool Library JournalThe writing is alternately hilarious, thought-provoking, and passionate, sometimes all within the same essay. The authors\' knowledge of all things nerdy is encyclopedic yet the depth at which they connect their subject matter to real-life issues is what makes the book stand out ... readers\' nerd knowledge doesn\'t have to be exhaustive for this book to resonate. The writing is conversational and invites spirited agreement or antagonism from its audience. Although the essays contain strong language, don\'t let it deter this purchase for older high schoolers. For students of color who love to debate the merits of DC versus Marvel, or even just nerd out to Disney\'s The Lion King, this book will be their mirror. And with so many essays, there\'s something for all nerds, regardless of the depth of their fandom ... Hilarious and thought-provoking essays that read like talking to a friend. Recommended for purchase.
