I didn't laugh as hard or as much in this one as I did with "How I Paid for College" but it was still an excellent and quick read. I would love to continue reading more about Edward and his friends. (  )nouveaustar | Jun 26, 2009 |   This is a hilarious tale of an actor tossed out of Julliard for being "too jazz hands." He is advised to go out and live adventurously and does he ever. Acito has a true gift for snappy dialogue and interesting plot twists. A follow up to his "How I Paid For College," another fun novel. ( )dugmel | Sep 30, 2008 | Having very much enjoyed How I Paid For College, I approached this with some relish. It is tremendously enjoyable summer fare: a great book to take along to the beach, or on a plane trip. The adventures of Edward Zanni are almost picaresque (what appears to be bad is really, what is good...so forth). I flew through it in a day and a half, but enjoyed it immensely (  )bookmaven404 | Jul 23, 2008 | I’ll admit that this adult novel isn’t for everyone, and probably not too many of my high school readers would enjoy it. But I giggled my way through the crude humor and gay drama escapades. Edward Zanni is expelled from Julliard because he’s “too jazz hands” and he has to make survive New York City on a series of small jobs that get better and better. He’s hired as a substitute theater usher (because he’s gay) and he works as a party motivator. He gets kids to boogie at their bar mitzvahs and keeps middle-aged women comfortable on the dance floor during corporate shindigs. He even is asked to schmooze and give info to the handsome Chad. But then Edward is served a subpoena from the Security Exchange Commission. And he is evicted. And his father marries his domestic because she’s pregnant with twins. And his mom changes her name to Joy Drinkwater and follows a mystic who travels in a wheelbarrow. And Edward falls in love with a confused straight man. And, wow, it just keeps coming.
