About this deal

And then he gets a “squip”—a pill-sized supercomputer that you swallow. The squip transforms Jeremy into a confident, handsome heartthrob. It tells him how to dress, how to act, what to say, and whom to avoid. Suddenly Jeremy is cool and can have any girl he wants—but he still only wants Christine. Guy wants manic pixie dream girl. Guy gets chip in his head to tell him how to win her. He loses touch with his real self and we should be sad for him because men should just exist as they are without ever questioning themselves. If they are not chosen by girls it’s unjust and proof of how shallow the girls are. High school girls are dumb except the girl who is NoT lIkE oThEr GiRlZ. So rather than enjoy her company or get to know her or be a friend to her, he has to date her. No other relationship counts. She doesn’t want him but it’s the fault of the chip in his brain.

One thing that i really like about this book is that it has everything a teenager wants to read about. Well maybe this is true for all the boys. Girls can read it only if they don't get grossed out by the male sexual details inside. But still, who couldn't relate to Jeremy? Almost every high schooler has at least one crush and needs to find a way to get to their crush. They rely on advice. Who would have though that it would be a supercomputer that gives you all the advice you need? How unique is that? It is true, the computer does tell you everything you need.

As stated before, I love the musical. These characters have an actual personality, for one thing. There is much more development of the friendship between Jeremy and Michael, and it makes a WORLD of a difference. Michael is my favorite character in the musical because of his role and my emotional attachment to what he goes through. As for the book, I don't think it would make much of a difference if Michael was never a character in the first place. It is INCREDIBLE how much of an improvement there is when the narrative is told in more than one point of view (though, I understand why the book was in Jeremy's POV to work for the ending). I've very much been looking forward to this graphic novel adaptation of one of my favorite stories. It's a pretty straightforward retelling and I love that the art style embraces the wannabe-grunge of the 2004-era setting. Now, onto my second major complaint. The Super Quantum Unit Intel Processor. The SQUIP. The SQUIP (or squip) is the turning point of the book. The squip's objective is to take an uncool person and make him cool. It makes him be more chill. It does this by implanting itself into the subject's brain (via a travel through the bloodstream after the subject injects the pill that contains the squip). After the squip is in the brain of the uncool person, it feeds the person instructions on how to speak and act. This is a problem. The squip says that having a predatory attitude toward women, disrespecting your parents, and abandoning your friends is cool. Jeremy takes the squip, listens to all of its instructions and you can probably guess where it goes from there.

The interactions between Jeremy and the Squip concerning women is absolutely disgusting. It encourages cheating and the double standards concerning cheating; men are to be seen positively for cheating (Jake) and women who cheat are to be seen as “sluts” or “whores” (Elizabeth). This is demonstrated by every character in the book, except maybe Michael. In any case, the author writes every girl to be the same, and to respond to the same stimuli in exactly the same way which is just adding to the general idea that women are objects. Sharp and smart, the musical perfectly balances the tragedy and hilarity of high school!” – Tri City News There is also some lesson that the Squip gives him, instructing him that women and girls are attracted to pheromones. Once you get with a girl, other girls will come to you and want you. -- Again, this is terribly problematic, because it states that every girl will want to have sexual advances made towards her because of the boy's prolific history. Then the Squip gives this comment, "HOW DO YOU THINK GUYS WITH GIRLFRIENDS BECOME SO ATTRACTIVE TO OUTSIDE FEMALES THAT THEY'RE FORCED TO CHEAT WITH?" (155). Now, this is suggesting that there is justification in infidelity on the male's part because of females' "innate" attraction. Vincentelli, Elisabeth (2018-04-13).

It's an okay book. I read it because I got into the musical, but I probably wouldn't have read it otherwise. I think the musical is better but this is still good. The Other Palace’s contemporary, 312-seat main auditorium has hosted new productions, including Heathers the Musical in 2018, which won Best New Musical and Best Actress in a Musical at the WhatsOnStage Awards. The intimate 120-seat studio space downstairs is where artists and directors can thrash out new work and rehearse forthcoming productions, while elsewhere in the building are a well-reviewed bar and restaurant. Another issue this book runs into is that though infidelity is dismissed when males commit it, girls are continuously and pervasively labeled "sluts" and "whores" and have every insult in the book thrown at them (by both girls and boys).

El toque de Vizzini es sumamente notorio, y ese mismo lo vuelve una joya del fatídico humor que lo caracteriza.
