After reading 'Destroy All Cars' I'm actually torn; I liked the theme the book was about, but with the way the protagonist acted reading became a pain with every chapter.
I kinda understand James' dissapointment in goverment and society, but wailing about it all the time, and writing it down in essays in colloquial language, is something a child would do, not a 17 years old boy.
Another thing which annoyed me while reading the book was James' daydreaming of Sadie. I understand if he still loves her, but he does not have to say it all the time (maybe I'm just as unromantic as a clod, but to be compelled to read about how 'perfect' a girl is, who he actually trys to forget, is killing the rest of the book for me).
In the end 'Destroy All Cars' was one of the better books I had to read for school, but I would not recommend it, mainly because of the Twilight-like lovestory..
