I know I am 21 years old, but I am a going to be a teacher someday. I found this book sadly reministent of my own childhood. Being a nerdy fubbleing dork was easy, but dealing with the socail pressures is what made it so tough. This story is sad but true for many students in schools.

I'm a 12 year old and I thought that Loser was a terrific book. It was funny but it also taught you many lessons. For example, it taught you to think on the positive side during even the worst of times. I loved it and I'm sure you will too. i just wanted to know where does this book take place?

I'm 11, and I don't really see what compelled Jerry Spinelli to write this book. I don't see how anybody could relate to this book in any way. The beginning was confusing, and there really was no plot. The ending seemed useless, too. It was meant to show that Zinkoff wasn't a loser, but a hero. To me, it further showed me what a loser he was. I'm sorry, but I'd give it a 2.

This Book is amazing. You learning some much about the character , you grow up with him. It makes you laugh, cry, angry, and so much more. Any one who knows english should read it.
