Jeremy Fink and the Meaning of Life

Jeremy Fink and the MOL is an okay book. Some of the quirks in the characters seemed like they were trying to hard to be “weird”. And, sometimes, especially in the beginning, Jeremy's line of thoughts weren't like a tweleve-year-old boy's thoughts(Its was either that or it seemed, just like with the quirks, that they were trying too hard to sound like an almost-teenage boy's thoughts)..
Also, the community service/security guard thing was kinda dumb(even though it was kind of necessary..), Especially the write-your-observations-in-notebook thing. And the emphasis on Lizzy being either: A) Girly or B) becoming more girl-ish was annoying.
It was also kind of annoying because it didn't start to get good ‘til I was about 200 pages in.
