Acerca de esta escucha
A teen at boarding school grapples with life, love, and rugby in a heartbreakingly funny novel.
Ryan Dean West is a 14-year-old junior at a boarding school for rich kids. He’s living in Opportunity Hall, the dorm for troublemakers, and rooming with the biggest bully on the rugby team. And he’s madly in love with his best friend Annie, who thinks of him as a little boy.
With the help of his sense of humor, rugby buddies, and his penchant for doodling comics, Ryan Dean manages to survive life’s complications and even find some happiness along the way. But when the unthinkable happens, he has to figure out how to hold on to what’s important, even when it feels like everything has fallen apart.
Filled with hand-drawn infographics and illustrations and told in a pitch-perfect voice, this realistic depiction of a teen’s experience strikes an exceptional balance of hilarious and heartbreaking.

Historia
Fourteen-year-old Stark McClellan (nicknamed Stick because he’s tall and thin) is bullied for being "deformed" - he was born with only one ear. His older brother, Bosten, is always there to defend Stick. But the boys can’t defend each other from their abusive parents. When Stick realizes Bosten is gay, he knows that to survive his father's anger, Bosten must leave home. Stick has to find his brother, or he will never feel whole again. In his search, he will encounter good people, bad people, and people who are simply indifferent to kids from the wrong side of the tracks. But he never loses hope of finding love - and his brother.

Historia
Finn Easton sees the world through miles instead of minutes. It's how he makes sense of the world and how he tries to convince himself that he's a real boy and not just a character in his father's best-selling cult-classic book. Finn has two things going for him: his best friend, the possibly insane but definitely excellent Cade Hernandez, and Julia Bishop, the first girl he's ever loved. Then Julia moves away, and Finn is heartbroken.

In fifth grade my teacher set us up with pen pals from a different school. Thinking I was a girl, with a name like Misha, the other teacher paired me up with her student Ryen. My teacher, believing Ryen was a boy like me, agreed. It didn't take long for us to figure out the mistake. And in no time at all, we were arguing about everything. The best take-out pizza. Android vs. iPhone. Whether or not Eminem is the greatest rapper ever. For the next seven years, it was us. She's the only one who keeps me on track, talks me down, and accepts everything I am.

Rafe is a normal teenager from Colorado. He's been out since 8th grade, accepted by his peers & championed by his progressive parents. And while that's important, all Rafe really wants is to be a regular guy. To have his sexuality be a part of who he is, but not the headline, every single time. So when Rafe transfers to an all-boys' boarding school in New England, he decides to keep his sexuality a secret - not so much going back in the closet as starting over with a clean slate.

Editor's Pick
I can’t talk about the best parts of this listen
"This is a tough review to write because even mentioning its strengths will ruin the listening experience for those that haven’t had the pleasure. Here’s what I can say: For my money, Andrew Smith writes teen boys better than any living author—and the main character, Winger, may be his best boy yet. Winger’s struggles with sexuality, empathy, anger, and male friendship resonated with me on every level, and every single person I’ve recommended the book to later told me they loved it. (You’re welcome, too.)"

Victor hates his life. He has no friends, gets beaten up at school, and his parents are always criticizing him. Tired of feeling miserable, Victor takes a bottle of his mother’s sleeping pills - only to wake up in the hospital. Bull is angry, and takes all of his rage out on Victor. That makes him feel better, at least a little. But it doesn’t stop Bull’s grandfather from getting drunk and hitting him. So Bull tries to defend himself with a loaded gun. When Victor and Bull end up as roommates in the same psych ward, there’s no way to escape each other or their problems. Which means things are going to get worse - much worse - before they get better.

Combining two novellas into one volume, this collection explores the effects of prejudice and the ramifications of violence with a slightly unhinged sense of humor and unexpected tenderness. Lockpick Pornography, originally published in 2005, is a gender-queer adventure story that was not widely available until now. We All Got It Coming presents the experiences of a young couple dealing with the aftermath of an act of violence. From kidnapping the son of a "family values" politician to violent confrontation, these are characters who fight back.

Sprout Bradford has a secret. It's not what you think he'll tell you he's gay. He'll tell you about his dads drinking and his mother's death. The green fingerprints everywhere tell you when he last dyed his hair. But neither the reader nor Sprout are prepared for what happens when Sprout suddenly finds he's had a more profound effect on the lives around him than he ever thought possible. Sprout is both hilarious and gripping; a story of one boy at odds with the expected.

Eleven minutes passed before Delaney Maxwell was pulled from the icy waters of a Maine lake by her best friend, Decker Phillips. By then her heart had stopped beating. Her brain had stopped working. She was dead. And yet she somehow defied medical precedent to come back seemingly fine - despite the scans that showed significant brain damage. Everyone wants Delaney to be all right, but she knows she's far from normal. Pulled by strange sensations she can't control or explain, Delaney finds herself drawn to the dying. Is her altered brain now predicting death, or causing it?

Changed things.
Don’t let the review fool you. I adore this piece of literature. However, I am currently a college student studying English and there are a few developmental issues I cannot over look. I will not extrapolate on that right now, but I will tell you the first time I read this piece was in early high school and I was about the same age as the main character. It left an imprint that allowed me to further explore and appreciate things that I have. As well as push my adoration for writing and other relevant workings of the subject. It changed me and I never forgot about this piece, and I don’t know if it will do the same to you, but it isn’t a book you should not read.

Loved it!
Listened to this with my 13 year old son (I'm a mom:) on a LONG drive. This book made the time fly!!! At one point I had to turn it off for a sec so I could catch my breath to stop laughing😂😂😂. His book does cover ALL the emotions of a teenage boy...and people in general. I would recommend it to all. Although teenage girls may be totally grossed out by the reality of the boys they think are so wonderful.

Sporty-Dead Poets Society
WINGER was magic to my ears. It had all the ingredients: main character with a strong voice, quirky-connectable supporting cast, depth and meaning. But ANDREW SMITH knocked it out of the park with wit and humor.
I enjoyed being in Ryan Dean's head while he worked through his Coming of Age story. Bullying, Man Codes, being apart of a Team and all the boy shenanigans they can come up with. The desire to kiss available lips warring with trying to escape the "friendship" zone with the girl he loves. Care packages with condoms and a "Your First Time" pamphlet from your loving mother.
Ryan Dean is smart, funny with a sensitive side. He unapologetically wears Pokemon underwear. He embraces the "Wild Boy" persona and goes for it, even when fear and uncertainty creep in.
SMITH's words and MARK BOYETT's narration are DY-NO-MITE! MARK captures the young, unsure, geeky Ryan Dean that is a tad unpredictable with throw-up of the month and mind. None of the oddness, wildness, passion or bravado escape his range to express all that WINGER has going on between the covers. He perfectly pegs all the screwballs and neanderthals in the supporting cast of characters. His females are feminine with a little fire. MARK's pacing and emotion create a movie in your mind. He had me there in the moment right along Ryan Dean. I felt like I was in the car with Screaming Ned, shrieking, cussing and losing my shit too.
There will be more SMITH and BOYETT in my future. I LOVED, LOVED, LOVED this audiobook.

Amazing book!
I loved this book so much! The first time I read it was a while ago and I reread it in preparation for the second book. I think I understood a lot more of what the author was trying to say in writing this book the second time around. It was so funny, but also real at the same time, which is hard to capture in a book. I felt like I was right there along with the characters throughout the story. The ending of this book really set the course for the second book, no matter how sad it was. All in all, this has to be one of the best books I’ve ever read.

An emotional and witty coming of age story
A fantastic and interesting book from beginning to end that has a distinctly nostalgic feeling to it. The ruminations of a hormonal 14-year-old boy become oddly familiar to any who were in that position as you laugh and cringe to his thoughts and observations of the world around him as he makes his way through Academy.

Hilariously funny with great narration!
What made the experience of listening to Winger the most enjoyable?
Winger was just really darn funny! I don't know if it needed quite as much swearing, but hey, the narrator is a 14 year-old boy, and we all know how gross and perverted they can be on the inside, at least Ryan Dean doesn't show it on the outside very often. Yes, this story has some swearing and crude humor, but it felt quite realistic to me and the book had me laughing out loud on more than one or two (or three) occasions. Listening to the book means that you miss out on the cartoons, charts, etc. that pepper the book, but the narrator does read them, and mentions that it is a drawing, so it really doesn't pull you out of the story that much. Honestly, if you don't mind crude humor and reading anything from a 14 year-old boy's perspective, then you will love this book. I thought the secondary characters, especially the male ones, were well done and added a lot to the story - I especially like Joey and Seanie as characters. The girls were somewhat unfathomable, but from a 14 year-old guy's mind, that is true to life also. It did kind of make me picture Ryan Dean as unbearably cute, since the junior girls all seemed to be crazy for him, but he doesn't see himself that way, so who knows? From what he says and the feelings that he expresses, I know that he is a really good guy deep inside.
Who was your favorite character and why?
Of course, Ryan Dean! Even though he constantly calls himself a "loser", by the time you get into the book, you realize he is so, so not, in any way, a loser. He is smart, funny, ready to stand up for his friends, and although he swears on the inside, he says he doesn't out loud, and you believe that, because he really seems like a good guy. Sure he is immature, and thinks about sex constantly, but that's part of his struggle, being a 14 year-old junior in high school.
Which character – as performed by Mark Boyett – was your favorite?
He performed all the characters well, again, Ryan Dean was the best. It seemed like he kept trying on and off to give Joey a New York-ish accent. It wasn't out of the question that he would have one, even though the school was in Oregon, Ryan Dean was from Boston, so Joey might very well have had an accent (although I don't think it ever said in the book that he did).
If you were to make a film of this book, what would the tag line be?
a hilarious rollercoaster ride
Any additional comments?
This book will make you laugh and cry. Don't miss it!

Amazing narrative voice
Ultimately and painfully this is an amazing story that is, in fact, LGBT.
The voice of the protagonist is clever, witty and hilarious. It quintessentially captures the voice of any boy at the physically and emotionally disorienting and pivotal age of 14.
I personally identified with the avoidance of verbal profanity while it so repetitiously f-bombs his personal thoughts, or how the endless description of every girl being hot, because 14 year old boys gay or straight are still struggling to elaborate on these new and overwhelmingly powerful feelings of sexual attraction. So hot pretty much describes it all.
Any mother or father who has raised a rather bright boy through their 14th year, or any guy gay or straight will love the story, its infatuations, friendships and both the funny and the messed up sh—-, that happens in high school and jr. high.
I cannot recommend this story enough.
