Struck By Lightning: The Carson Phillips Journal follows the story of outcast high school senior Carson Phillips who blackmails the most popular students in his school into contributing to his literary journal to bolster his college application; his goal in life is to get into Northwestern and eventually become the editor of The New Yorker.
At once laugh-out-loud funny, deliciously dark, and remarkably smart, Struck By Lightning unearths the dirt that lies just below the surface of high school.
The film Stuck By Lightning is set to be released by Tribeca Film later this year and features Colfer's own original screenplay. Colfer also stars in the film alongside Allison Janney, Christina Hendricks, Dermot Mulroney, Sarah Hyland, and Polly Bergen. High School Literature & Fiction Humor Funny Witty Student Comedy

Be in on the very beginning of author & narrator, Chris Colfer's debut book, which has also been scooped up by Hollywood - both of them, to be the Star of his own book, first book, no less! A very bright high school kid who learns how to manipulate his otherwise non-literary co-students, esp a few of the more popular kids who have secrets to hide, secrets that they'll do anything to make sure they stay hidden -- even if it means writing an article for this 'unpopular' kid's Literary Magazine. Why is he so driven to break his own code of ethics? Because he'll do anything to get into Northwestern so he can get away from these people who've bullied him so long AND, more so, to work his way up to becoming a writer for The New Yorker magazine, a mag most his schoolmates haven't yet heard of. Another great find at Audible, which made it possible w/it's Exchange Program (I.e., you don't have to be stuck with a book you don't like; you can now exchange your old choice with a better one. Thanks Audible!)

I laughed so hard at the jokes, and sat there listening to the story go on with anticipation. I don’t normally read/listen to books for then once, sense I already know the story, but this definitely is a book I will listen to multiple times. I’ve been a fan of Chris Colfer’s other books such as his “The Land Of Stories” series, so I was already well aquatinted with his writing style, but Chris surprises me with every book he writes. This book had such a great feeling to it, with a surprising ending. I haven’t seen the movie version of this, and I’m glad I haven’t, and that I listened to the book first. Although throughout the whole story it gives off a sarcastic, and humorous vibe, there were some parts where I unexpectedly got teary eyed. I didn’t expect how much I would have loved the character Carson Phillips, but I ended up loving the character development and personality. If you are a fan of Chris Colfer, like writing, a smart ass (like me), or simply are just very sarcastic you will love this book. This book was inspirational, even when it didn’t sound like it was. I rate this 5/5 because of all the times I had to pause it and laugh out loud. Because of all the times where I took one line to heart. And because of the times where I couldn’t help but see me in Carson’s shoes. Enjoy the book, you won’t regret listening to this story.

A funny, and meaningful story. With unexpected events.

This book is a must read/listen for any one in need of a reminder on how amazing and heartbreaking life can be all at once. The importance of our temporary existence in this world is to remind ourselves everyday to be in the moment. Enjoy the good and the bad all mixed in together.

Truly Wonderful, Poignant and Hillarious
