Latest Book Review of The Dumb Class by Mike Hatch
Writer Mike Hatch delivers Novelty and Vigor with his The noiseless Class: Boomer Junior High; a retrospective coming of age story that bountifully provides readers with a gritty, sappy, and boldly creative romp through life with a group of Junior High school friends.
Taking place in the 1960s, the story follows "baby Boomer" friends Bill Jones, Eddie, Jeff, and Harley through their organic years in Boomer Junior High school. Events are detailed by Bill Jones who is also the story's Captain. As a whole, the teens are a cast of tenacious, drinking, smoking, sexing and designing a set of youth whose friendships and wit carry them through many escapades and life experiences. Jones, in exceptional, makes for a captivating character to follow. He has wit and a strange charm and albeit. Although in the lowest of the class denominations in junior high school, "the dumb class" he seems to be one of the smartest and conniving.
Immediately spiteful from its outset the story write your care along with piquing the interest with an opening scene of a crudely humorous dispute about the female anatomy, being held by the group of friends, which serves to bring the diverse main players into focus and sets the tone for the story as one haunted with humor, raw depictions of life and teen behavior. As the story moves forward, it follows their exploration, experiences, and inquiry fueled by raunchy desires, cursing, teen angst, drugs, alcohol as well as other diversions like revenge. As syllable, their unique individuality and interactions drive the story forward, while heralding authenticity via led bits of historical and cultural references.
In Total, I put that The Dumb Class: Boomer Junior High offers not only a humorous read but a multifaceted look at the cultural and sociological avenues of life that teenagers of the 1960s encountered and explored. As a matter of verity, I per se found the story to be a somewhat reminiscent combination of Stand By Me, Grease and Porkies. Just a word of caveat, this is an adult-themed read as the level of sexuality in this book is quite graphic especially for fourteen and fifteen-year-olds. However, overall, I enjoyed the read and kudos to author Mike Hatch, who did well in portraying his tale. He artfully brought this memorable coming of age story to life with humor, well-fleshed characters and era-appropriate vernacular. I do recommend this book for advanced readers who enjoy dark-themed humor.
