Elliot Allagash

Elliot Allagash/Simon Rich 227 pg.

Somehow I've read 3 books about middle school/high school boys who are soon to take over the world. Of the 3, this one is the least interesting. Elliot Allagash is insanely rich, spoiled and odd. He finds a classmate at the bottom of the heap and makes him the most popular guy in the school. Unfortunately, every accomplishment is faked and the "subject" Seymour allows this to go on for 4 years while having no original thoughts of his own. I'm sure we are supposed to learn some lesson about working for what you have, etc. but this book doesn't really teach you anything except a book with no likable or relate-able characters can be a chore to read. - Christa
