Kick Me: Adventures in Adolescence

by Paul Feig · 2002

+ Want to read

Written in side-splitting and often cringe-inducing detail, Paul Feig takes you in a time machine to a world of bombardment by dodge balls, ill-fated prom dates, hellish school bus rides, and other aspects of public school life that will keep you laughing in recognition and occasionally sighing in relief that you aren't him. Kick Meis a nostalgic trip for the inner geek in all of us.
