NZ Author: Tania Hutley - 99 flavours of suck

This is one crazy story. Kane is 15 years old, he has a best mate called Jase, a girl friend Pippa who makes him sweat with desire, a mother who is a TV celebrity as a dog whisperer and he is allergic to dogs.

Kane likes to make girls laugh but he can’t get a girlfriend to lock lips with. He fancies Pippa but she seems more keen on his mate Jase.

While on a shoot with his mother he is licked on the hand by a hairy man and bitten on the bum by a dog while relieving himself in a creek. After an embarrassing appearance on his mother’s tv show he declines into absurd behaviour.

Kane feels he is turning into a werewolf. Then  the gorgeous Angela turns up.

A good laugh for teens who have a sense of the ridiculous.

I actually really enjoyed this book! According to Bob's review that must mean I have a sense of the ridiculous - and I do! :)

As werewolves do not form a large part of my usual reading repertoire  I admit I was duped into reading this book. Duped by the cool bright cover and duped by the interesting blurb on the back. Duped too, in a good way, thankfully, by an engaging story line that made me read on in spite of (or because of?) the bottom-baring antics of the main protagonist. 

All in all a fun read with engaging characters.
