You Killed Wesley Payne

Dalton Rev is a man with a mission.  He’ll do whatever it takes to find out who killed Wesley Payne.  Well, sort of.  Dalton is a seventeen year old 007, coming into a school steeped in bribery, cliques and now murder covered up as suicide.  This story reminds me a lot of the movie Pulp Fiction – everything is overstated and understated at the same time.  Sean Beaudoin’s writing is farcical, yet drives home the hypocracies in every high school.  Tongue in cheek glossary and “Salt River High Clique Index” push this so far over the edge that it boomerangs back as crafty and witty.  Upper level high school boys and a few girls who are rather witty themselves and so “done” with the high school scene find this funny.  Others may see it as over the top annoying.  Additional selection.
