Editor's Notes and Comments:
Product Description:
Share the shame.
In the days before blogs, teenagers recorded their lives with a pen in top-secret notebooks, usually emblazoned with an earnest, underlined plea to parents to keep away. Since 2002, David Nadelberg has tapped that vast wellspring of adolescent anguish in the stage show Mortified, in which grown men and women confront their past with firsthand tales of their very first kiss, very first puff, worst prom, fights with mom, life at bible camp, worst hand job, best mall job, and reasons they deserved to marry Simon LeBon.
Following the same formula that has made the live show a beloved cult hit, Mortified the book takes real childhood journals and documents and edits the entries into captivating, comedic, and cathartic stories, introduced by their now older (and allegedly wiser) authors. From letters begging rescue from a hellish summer camp to catty locker notes about stuck-up classmates to obsessive love that borders on stalking, Mortified gives voice to the real -- and really pathetic -- hopes, fears, desires, and creative urgings that have united adolescents for generations.

Mortified: Real Words. Real People. Real Pathetic.
This is so true and so funny.

Painfully funny. It was good, I liked it, but after a while all the stories started sounding the same and I was sort of just reading to get to the end. It might have been better if I had been left wanting more instead.
This is a book that is probably better read in bits and pieces than straight through.

This peek into the young lives of our peers, parents, bosses and complete strangers hits closer to home than we might like. These real life stories told in the young voices that wrote them as they happened, make for an irresistible read. Stories of young love lost or never realized. Histories of drug abuse. Relatable anecdotes of self consious body image make up the bulk of these tales (oh yeah and a kids fixation on Mr. Belvedere).
The only draw back I felt was the lack of sectional separation (IE. love, sex, drugs.....) which could have made it a better re-read of certain entries. I have yet to see the live show, but look forward to going if I get near one.

Mortified is a fantastic live show that I attend regularly in Los Angeles. I bring friends and encourage others to attend. It's a great show and now, an equally great book. I have bought multiple copies as gifts for friends and family. Get your self a copy, you'll laugh yourself silly...
Rated by buyers -
Hilarious. I don't think I stopped laughing the whole time I read this book. I have since re-read it several times. It is divine in its funnyness. Even better because it's all true. Buy it!
