What are three 17-year-old boys doing? Anything they can to be “doing it”! Jason Flemyng gives a stellar performance, considering the challenges presented by this novel’s characters and bawdy language and action. Describing such experiences as first sexual contacts, genital examination by a female doctor, and the seduction of a student by a teacher, Flemyng narrates without flinching and without under- or overperforming. He reflects the main characters’ insecurities and obnoxious-ness with an honesty that puts the racy scenes and dialogue in the context of this teen novel, rare in its male point of view on teen sexuality.
