Au Revoir, Crazy European Chick (adventure, assassins))

Book Title: Au Revoir, Crazy European Chick by Joe Schreiber

Thoughts: This book was funny.  I began laughing while reading the first page and did not stop until the last chapter.  I can visualize Christopher Mintz-Plasse (Mclovin) as Perry, but I haven't figured out who would play Gobi--maybe Rooney Mara.  The last chapter doesn't lend itself to a movie though; we need to know what Perry thinks.  Maybe if the director has Perry directly speak to the camera like in Ferris Bueller's Day Off, we would know his thoughts.  I can see Perry introducing each chapter with a quick introduction to the camera.   

Perry is a senior in high school who always does what his dad wants him to do.  His parents make him take the geeky Lithuanian exchange student to senior prom when Perry would rather play a gig with his band.  He decides he will be able to do both, but Gobi has other plans.  She forces Perry to drive her around New York City so that she can assassinate people.  This book is full of car chases, blood and gore, and fights. Schreiber uses situational irony throughout the novel to help with the humor. 

Even though Schreiber uses "chick" in the title, and we know females are not barnyard animals, I did enjoy the humor and wanting to know what the next funny situation Perry would be in.  I can't imagine many people saying "au revoir" to this book after the first page.
