About this audiobook

Jeremy Heere is your average high school dork. Day after day he stares at beautiful Christine, the girl he can never have, and dryly notes the small humiliations that come his way -- until the day he is told about the "squip." A pill-sized supercomputer that you swallow, the squip is guaranteed to bring you whatever you most desire in life. By instructing him on everything from what to wear to how to talk and walk, the squip transforms Jeremy from a supergeek to one of the most popular guys in class. Soon he has made friends and has the attention of the hottest girls in school. But his real dream, Christine, remains out of his reach. Jeremy eventually finds out that there is also a dark side to having a computer inside your brain -- and it can lead to disastrous consequences.

Performed by Jesse Eisenberg

Ratings and reviews

Darn, the voice actor is perfect. He fits the main character so well and does very good with the others voices. THE ENDING IS SO GOOD, OML, I swear the whole book is worth it for that plot twist! I loved loved loved loved loved this book!!

Perfect in a lot of ways, but knocking off a star for the reader reading too fast or too slow at some parts

absolutely insane hearing Jesse Eisenberg say the nword but he reads Jeremy so well
