»I think it's great, the way Joey Goebel sees through pseudo-nonchalance and coolness without ever being schoolmasterly about it.«
Stefan Maelck
NDR Kultur, Hamburg
»A wonderfully told high school novel, full of humour and side swipes at the American school system, which sometimes behaves like a big kindergarten.«
Stefan Reis
Main-Echo, Aschaffenburg
»Joey Goebel has written a wonderful book about the turmoil of still having to be a teenager, while already wanting to be an adult (and vice versa).«
Roland Krüger
Deutschlandradio Kultur, Berlin
»In ›I against Osbourne‹ Joey Goebel has managed to produce a critical consideration of school as part of modern partying society. And a sophisticated answer to the question of why a person might feel themselves to be an outsider.«
André Gross
Nordkurier, Neubrandenburg
»A delectable work for all age groups.«
