I Love You, Beth Cooper by Larry Doyle


From the Back Cover:

Denis Cooverman wanted to say something really important in his high school graduation speech. So, in front of his 512 classmates and their 3,000 relatives, he announced: "I love you, Beth Cooper."
It would have been such a sweet, romantic moment. Except that Beth, the head cheerleader, has only the vaguest idea who Denis is. And Denis, the captain of the debate team, is so far out of her league he is barely even the same species. And then there's Kevin, Beth's remarkably large boyfriend, who's in town on furlough from the United States Army. Complications ensue. 

This book was an impulse buy, and mostly because of the colorful cover! Also the author was a writer for the Simpsons, which can be funny at times.

Anyway, I didn't particularly like the book. It was too much to take in such a short span of time, and most of it was cartoonish and not very real! There were many unbelievable scenes like Kevin's truck entering the living room and the cow incident! I mean you see that kinda stuff mainly in cartoons and maybe Jim Carrey movies!
The basic premise of the book was good, but there was nothing remarkable about the following settings/scenes.
