Publisher Description
Struck By Lightning: The Carson Phillips Journal follows the story of outcast high school senior Carson Phillips who blackmails the most popular students in his school into contributing to his literary journal to bolster his college application; his goal in life is to get into Northwestern and eventually become the editor of The New Yorker.
At once laugh-out-loud funny, deliciously dark, and remarkably smart, Struck By Lightning unearths the dirt that lies just below the surface of high school.
The film Stuck By Lightning features Colfer's own original screenplay. Colfer also stars in the film alongside Allison Janney, Christina Hendricks, Dermot Mulroney, Sarah Hyland, and Polly Bergen.

Great book!
What can't he do? He's an incredible actor, writes screenplays, books, sings,.... Wow! Great book with relatable characters and it pulled me right in! Although, Chris has a mouth that would make a mother blush! He's shown that he's more than just Kurt on glee.
Brilliant!
What can't he do?! :)
Deliciously Dark
This book is an amazing book. I bought it yesterday and finished it in the same day. I couldn't put it down.
The chapters flow very well and it had me laughing within the first sentance. I was hooked.
Carson Phillips is a very sarcastic, manipulative, and lovable character.
The book has it's serious moments but is full of sharp wit that will have you crave more and more until the book ends.
It's completely relateable and has me wishing that I had said at least half the things that Carson was brave enough to say to his peers.
Chris has shown us already that he is talented at many things but this book reinforces it.
I can't wait to see the movie!
