Grasshopper Jungle

     

What Goodreads say : Sixteen-year-old Austin Szerba interweaves the story of his Polish legacy with the story of how he and his best friend , Robby, brought about the end of humanity and the rise of an army of unstoppable, six-foot tall praying mantises in small-town Iowa.

         To make matters worse, Austin's hormones are totally oblivious; they don't care that the world is in utter chaos: Austin is in love with his girlfriend, Shann, but remains confused about his sexual orientation. He's stewing in a self-professed constant state of maximum horniness, directed at both Robby and Shann. Ultimately, it's up to Austin to save the world and propagate the species in this sci-fright journey of survival, sex, and the complex realities of the human condition.

One of my reactions after reading this book... 

      Okay so I read this book for my schools book club, although it took me awhile to get into, its very repetive and the main character Austin really annoyed me, because I felt like he was a stereotypical horny teenage boy because  literally every other sentence in this book discussed how horny he was, my favorite character was Robby, Austins best friend, I felt like Austin was a terrible friend to Robby and cared about no one but him self.

      However what really made me like this book was the dramatic turn it took, this book was really silly and funny throughout the whole book, There were six feet tall horny grasshoppers who ate everything and tried to have sex with everything for god sakes ! but then towards the end the book turned serious which was so unexpected and I think you all should give this book a try!

p.s. I also heard this book will probably be made into a movie?
