The plot summary is absolutely dreadful! I don't like plot summaries myself and refuse to touch them but this one really needs some attention. 81.178.38.169 ( talk) 15:23, 27 November 2010 (UTC)
Added cover artwork of first edition as suggested by infobox Donn Edwards ( talk) 18:56, 14 December 2010 (UTC)
as this book reflects so much of american culture, the summary should clarify where the character Joey went to college. As of now it just says 'Virginia' as in the state, but he actually attends the University of Virginia, or UVA, as it's colloquially known, which is significant to understanding the novel as it's seen as an elitist and conservative school that somehow fits Joey's rebellious and precocious character. It's just as telling as his sister's choice to take an athletic scholarship to the U. of Minnesota. I would edit this myself but this article is currently blocked
