I'm With Stupid (Felton Reinstein trilogy, 3)

My son asked for these for his birthday. I love that he still likes to read! He enjoys them!

We all have problems. Felton Reinstein knows this. But Felton Reinstein had to learn this.Summary: Felton has to decide where he is going to college/where he is playing college football. On top of that, he is dealing with the memory of his dead father and the effect it has had on him his whole life. His brother isn't around anymore because he moved to Florida. His mom isn't present, even though they share a home. The stress of deciding his future and dealing with his family are hitting him hard. He's dealing with it the best he can. He's learning that we all have problems.This whole series was perfect, and this book was no exception. The writing is great. The characters are beautiful and sad and funny. I don't even like sports and the sports part were good. They were so well written that I loved reading about a subject I don't care about in the slightest. The way he describes what Felton is experiencing is brilliant. The scenes where Felton is crashing/spiraling down (mental health-wise) are written in a way that makes you really feel it.I think that Herbach not only understands teenagers, he understands mental health and how it effects all types of people. He understands families and the dynamic between siblings and parents.This book has instantly become one of my favorites, as has the entire series. Every book is gold and every person should read them. These books made me feel so much and that's something I think is important. These books are important.

I was looking for a book to appeal to a 9th grade boy who had a strong dislike for reading. One review said this book was written in the tone of "Catcher in the Rye" by JD Salinger. My student read this book and loved it! He is ready to start reading more Geoff Herback books. His mother is so delighted that her son finally reads without being nagged about doing so!

Picked this book up from our school library. Wanted to see what high school students are reading. I expected one thing but got another. I thought it would be a "football" story. It was a book about emotions! Might order multiple copies to use next year as a lit study!

Was fun to read a story from a boy's point of view. Herbach spun a compelling tale about the inner turmoil of the high school football star who appears to have it all.

I started the series, and I enjoy it, and I could not stop reading it, but I would have foregone it altogether if I had paid more attention to the pricing beforehand.

Received timely. Seems interesting. I bought the set if three. My son, age 13, seems interested to read them.

Felton Reinstein has problems but we all do as he reminds us all. He’s great at football but he has a past nagging him. He finds his place finally and we are all happy he does. Bravo!
