Great read, funny off the wall type of tale.The protagonist of "Losers", Jupiter, comes to America from Russia to attend school and is, naturally, an outcast at first. Being a product of his culture, he has a different take on situations and ideas than most people he comes to attend school with. This wasn't my favorite book, but it definitely got better with each page. I really liked that the text handled lots of present day issues with teens, namely assimilation, acceptance, bullying, etc. Most of these topics aren't high on the list of
When I was in junior high I unfortunately was one of the many mislead pre-teens that loathed reading. But when I read this book, it changed my whole perspective. It was the first book I truly enjoyed, I could step into the shoes of a very realistically portrayed russian refugee teen that experienced Jr. High much like I did, like anyone does. In summation I Highly recommend this book for a Jr. high to high school audience.

I started reading the copy EP took out of the library MINUTES after she finished it, and read the whole thing in about an hour and a half. It kept surprising me with how the story developed, and I loved that it was neither a happy-ever-after type story nor a life-sucks-and-then-you-die thing. This book just had this great sensibility that had me loving and deeply caring about the main character, faults and all. Totally totally recommend to people who love reading YA books about high school
Very funny. I felt like I was Jupiter through out the book. It kept me inspired to read it and I finished it after just a couple of days. It made me laugh a lot too... absolutely a must!
Losers wasn't my favorite book, but it got better towards the end. The protagonist is from Russia, the wrong side of town, and a target for bullies, but one night at a party begins to change all this. He drops his accent and begins his pursuit into popularity. I won't tell you if he did or not.I don't think I could use this in the classroom, but it's nice to see main characters from an ethnic stand point. This is not a book I would recommend to the reluctant reader, but I see some students
Book review for Losers. This book is about a boy who went from having no friends to being populare, just beacuse he was invited to a party and shared a very intrested story ofhim whe he was small. I rate this book at a 8 because through the story you learn how it is to become some one you are not. I also think this book is a rate of 8 because it teaches you that being popular is not what every one should be, being als a great life. I want to know why the author chosed the tittle to be losers?.
