As the boys’ antics spiral out of control, Brad’s double life edges toward exposure, pulling him further into self-destruction and chaos.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAs deviant as it is defiant, this dark and satirical takedown of the extreme teen genre presents a documentarian’s portrait of the late 1990s, where traditional masculinity, the early internet, and pop culture collided. Provocative and alarming, Kazemi’s work critiques contemporary upper-class American life, crossing all lines as the book seduces, shocks, breaks your heart, and leaves you laughing—albeit sadistically. New Millennium Boyz presents an uncensored and unsettling portrayal of the year 2000 that never could have aired on MTV.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: bold;\"\u003e“Kazemi’s prose produces the same visceral response as an early Tarantino movie.

His characters are damaged products of their time. While this is a dark chronicle, there's also a cozy High School Confidential feel to the tale and the various media Kazemi employs to tell it, resulting in a compulsively readable novel.” —Poppy Z.
