Cute. Not as funny as others led me to believe, got only a few chuckles. Was kind of unbelievably innocent (I certainly wasn't that childlike at 14) but it was cute. ( )

Kevin takes his understanding of the scientific method and attempts to apply to it learning about romance. His naivete and innocence about relationships and dating makes not only this character, but even his crazy antics all the more endearing. The girls who were bored by Hatchet will love Crush. ( )

Very short but had me laughing out loud. ( )

Suddenly finding himself in love with Tina, Kevin Spencer figures that since chemistry is involved with love, he should take a scientific approach to becoming Tina's boyfriend. His approach is hilariously deliberate and highly impractical: in order to observe how love works he tries to create a romantic evening for his parents, and he sets various friends up on blind dates, to varying results. The humor can be rather subtle and sophisticated for the target reader, but kids will get what they will out of it. ( )
