Very real

Pass it on is a book about a guy named Jonathan and his friends. He and his friends Mickey, Arno and Patch into partying and hanging out late. Each of them has a bunch of problems with their family life and has relationship problems with the opposite sex. Eventually secrets are kept and its like none of the four friends can count on each other anymore. I think that this book was very well written. The author really captured the spirit of a teenage boy while writing this book. The author really had lots of vivid details to describe the scenes that took place in this book. It actually felt like I was there my self living Jonathans life with him. I really enjoyed this book and had a lot of fun with it. At times though, the content of the book would make me feel a little uncomfortable. That's about the only thing that would bump my five down to a four. Other than that, I thought that this book was great. I would recommend this book to all teens. I think any teen would enjoy reading this book. I know that I did. I had a lot of fun with it. It was a really "real" book. It was very down to earth and seemed like something that could and would really happen in reality. i liked it.

gossip girls from a guys' perspective

rummaging thru the teen section at the local barnes and noble.. i stumbled onto this book... i like to call these books.. THESE include gossip girl and any other book depicting teenage life at its best.. i.e. drinking, having sex, and having an abnormal sum of money to spend.. so. i like to call these books brain dead books.. why? dont ask.. so i bought this brain dead book with hopes of entertainment and a few dreamy moments, and i can proudly say that is exactly what i received.. entertainment and a few dreamy moments!

sneakful sequel

More of the same great banter, brawls, and boasting from Jonathan Minter. Theres more story on the fifth Insider, Patch which is amusing; He actually seems quite sane, unlike the unravelling social-glue Jonathan. The guys show off their athleticism, or lack thereof which is hilarious. Plus a new girl with a new accent is a no brainer. 200 pages I'd read again.

better than the first

The second Insider's book was funny, enjoyable, and definitely better than the first. I thought The Insiders was ...meh- nothing special. But when I read the Insiders 2, I felt a lot better about the series. The second book is much more addictive and exciting than the first, and I suggest you read it even if you didn't think much of the first Insiders.

Couldn't Put It Down

I have to say, as a fourteen year old who is going through an enormous amount of relationship trouble, it is finally a relief to actually see a teen book series that is from a guys point of view. I was a little iffy on starting to read the series, but after the first book I got hooked. In some ways, I think this one is even better. You find out a lot more about the guys and especially about Jonathan's family. Once I started reading it, I couldn't stop, and I guarantee that you won't be able to either. 'Pass It On' is one of the best teenage coming-of-age books I have ever read and I completely reccomend it to anybody who wants a guys point of view instead of a girls for once.
