Broken celebrity read. Not sure why I picked it up. Wish I'd put it down sooner. Astrid likes to think that she's snarky, difficult, powerful and capable of world changing pranks. Mostly she seems like a boring selfish whiner with no imagination. ( )

I found that although profanity is very common in this novel, the moral was very uplifting and motivating. However, sometimes the plot was not always on task and wandered off from what was intended. ( )

Rich girl gets booted out of her private school for cheating and instead has to go to public school.

Could be SO funny--but isn't.

Instead it is mean-spirited, boring and disjointed. Yes there are a few spots of juvenile type humor, but half way through it they were so far and few between (and really not that funny) that I had to give up. ( )

This book started strong but didn't sustain its strength through to the end. I was doing some serious laugh-snorts in the first few chapters but as Astrid begins her journey she lost some of her humor. I think many people will enjoy this book and I will definitely look at anything else this author writes. ( )

On paper, Astrid Krieger should be the world's most unlikeable narrator. She kind of hates everyone (except for her grandfather, who made his fortune developing nuclear weapons), doesn't even really want friends, and is only concerned with power -- the power of her reputation. On paper, she's the last person you'd want to come in contact with, but in FIRECRACKER, she's hilarious.

Astrid enjoys a good amount of freedom at her fancy boarding school. She has a certain notoriety that gets her what she wants -- like her not-boyfriend "Pierre" who refuses to not be in love with her. But when her allies turn her in for cheating (something they're all guilty of), she faces the worst punishment imagineable: public school.

In public school, Astrid is the weird girl who wears formal dresses, and doesn't know where to sit in the cafeteria (this becomes even harder when someone actually steals her and her not-quite-friends-but-partners-in-outcastdom's table). Worst of all, she still doesn't know who turned her in, or if she'll ever be able to go back to her old school (other than for her therapy sessions with her formal principal). So Astrid has to scheme. Hard.

David Iserson's debut novel is laugh-out-loud funny -- the kind of writing you'd expect from someone who writes for New Girl and Saturday Night Live (which Iserson does). It's quirky and wild and at times downright unbelievable, but FIRECRACKER, being part-heist novel and part-Hughsian comedy, delivers a story you can't put down. I can't wait for the next book from David Iserson. I want to meet more characters like Astrid. ( )
