"CATCHER IN THE RYE for the MTV generation"- Daily Telegraph The paperback edition of one of the hottest debut novels of the year, written by one of the youngest novelists ever published. Benjamin Lebert is just an ordinary German teenager trying to have a good time. Only he's paralyzed down his left side and he's already been thrown out of four schools. Still the friends he's made at his new boarding school don't think he's any different, just 'crazy'.

Review:
This is the story of Crazy: when the book was first published in Germany it was a literary sensation, topping the bestseller lists. It has been compared to JD Salinger's The Catcher in the Rye. It is being made into a film. Its author, Benjamin Lebert, wrote the book when he was only 16 years old.

This is the story in Crazy: Benjamin Lebert, an under-achiever who is paralysed on the left side of his body, is placed in a new boarding school. His father has left his mother for a buxom 20-year-old. His sister's sexy lesbian lovers have been taunting him. He has a bad grade in mathematics. He is cynical about life. At school he makes friends with a motley crew of boys and, despite being disabled, participates in all their nefarious pranks. His friends also provide a network of support for him and a sounding board for his ideas about life, love and happiness. They all share their insecurities, talk about family relationship, chase after girls, smoke a lot, run away from school and get drunk in a sleazy striptease bar.

What's special about Crazy is that Lebert tells us a lot about how teenagers think. We learn about their views on adulthood, sex, family, religion and life. "Old people have a completely different attitude to life. They don't like us. And we don't like them." Crazy is an excellent coming-of-age novel; a charming glimpse of adolescence by a captivating young author. --Edward Bloor
