I need to kill him before I have some kind of asthma attack... 
 THE REASON 
 I was given an e-galley copy of NOTHING CAN GO WRONG by Prudence Shen, off NetGalley, for the purposes of providing a complete and honest review. I ultimately chose to give this book a chance because it was *so* unlike anything I normally gravitate towards in fiction. I've really only read one or two graphic novels in all my years of reading, so it was definitely intriguing to step outside my comfort zone, there... 
 THE PLOT 
 The story starts with the captain of the basketball team, Charlie, being dumped by his girlfriend, Holly, who just so happens to be the captain of the cheerleading squad. Heart-broken and defeated, Charlie catches a ride home from school from his best friend, Nate, who is the head of the school robotics team, making theirs a particularly unusual friendship. 
 Nate tells Charlie that he too is angry at Holly, who has recently managed to deter school funding from going straight to the robotics team, as planned, by petitioning the school to use the money to buy new cheerleading uniforms instead. To be completely fair, the principal decides to let the school council make the decision on which group ultimately deserves the money. 
 So, Nate hatches a fabulous scheme to get himself elected as school body president, because of *course* he would push the money to the robotics team. In turn, Holly and the cheerleaders begin campaigning ferociously for Charlie to be elected as president, to give the cheerleaders a better shot at getting their new uniforms. 
 When things get out of hand before the school elections, the teens unhatch another brilliant plan to make *both* groups happy. They'll make a few tweaks to the robotic team's latest creation and enter it into Robot Rumble, a competition where robots are thrown into a boxing ring and ultimately fight to the death. The prize money would easily be enough to get cheerleading uniforms AND send the robotics team to the competition they have been dreaming of attending all year so far. 
 Of course, everything that can go wrong WILL go wrong in these kinds of schemes.... 
 MY OPINION 
 I was pleasantly surprised just how FUN this book really ending up being, right up until the last page. The illustrations were quirky and interesting and the plot was just so weird and random that it kept me intrigued, making it a pretty fast read overall. 
 The only thing that threw me off a bit in this one, I think, was the character of Charlie -- he was *SUCH* a wuss! He was always hiding somewhere or backing off from something.. and that one scene with him and Nate under the bed was just bizarre! 
 THE VERDICT 
 This is a quick, run read that will undoubtedly appeal to those of us who don't read graphic novels. Now, if you're a seasoned graphic novel fan... I'm probably not qualified to give an opinion of what you might think.
