Book-one-hundred-and-thirty-two: Fly on the Wall

Fly on the Wall: How One Girl Saw Everything (2006)

Rating: 4/5
[The 115: 15/115]

Original, well written and very very funny.

Fly on the Wall: How One Girl Saw Everything, is about a girl called Gretchen Kaufman Yee who goes to a wacked-out art school in New York City. She's a collector of plastic Chinese food and odd figurines, a passionate comic-book artist, and a crazy Spider-man fanatic. She's also completely freaked out by the opposite sex -- in particular, the Art Rats, a group of guys in her drawing concentration. One day, she wishes she could be "a fly on the wall of the boys' locker room," just to find out what the heck guys really talk about.

And the next thing she knows... she is.


A fly.


On the wall of the locker room.
