Amusing
Bongwater is a great book if you are looking for an easy read with feather-light humor. Drugs and alcohol, gotta love both.

the end justifies the means.
I thought this book was horrifically bad and pointless when I first read it. Not particularly drug-centric. Not particularly angsty. Not particularly anything. Almost a year later, while bored senseless and completely apathetic, I picked it up again simply so I would have something to do. It came...

real and well observed
I admit that I long ago judged this book by its cover. I remember seeing it in the bookstore years ago and dismissing it for the title and for the Gen-Xy jacket (and I actually liked the cover, from a design perspective, but I thought this book would be just too-too). Reading it now, years...

Much better than the film
I read the book before and usually I read the book after. I'm glad it was the reverse in this case. I've read some reviews here and I can't help but to say that just because a book is short, to the point, and read swiftly, doesn't mean that a lot of love and diligence wasn't put into it....

Good read!
Not only is this book fun, it's very well written. It flows. I almost read it in one night. The key is, it's very realistic about young people's lives and relationships. The sex, the longing for intimacy, the drugs, the ambling through early adulthood.Read it, you won't be disappointed.

Is Pot All You Got?
Too many people I know are duped by the idea that THC equals reality. It's just a chemical like any other. Believe me, I'm not against using any drug, but I will say glorification is weak, immature, and a waste. Bongwater, by its mere title alone cries to the baked teenybopper browsing the...

Tries too hard, failing repeatedly
Within these entrenched times of uncertainty for young people, myself included, BongWater looked like a capitvating read. Within the first few chapters, however, I realized that it was not. The lifeless, self-depricated complications of disaffected generation X or Y or whatever's was completely...

Hilarious and real
This book jumped off the shelf because of the name, so I had to read it. I read it in one day because I couldn't put it down. It was a lot like Reality Bites, but better. If you've ever smoked pot or lived an alternative lifestyle you will relate to this book. I especially related to the...
