Call The Shots Download Free (EPUB, PDF)
And . . . action! As the uproarious trio returns, sensitive Sean takes the spotlight — scripting a low-low-budget film while fielding unexpected female fans.Coop is cooking up another sure-misfire scheme (big surprise), and this time the comedy plays out from Sean’s point of view. What’s the new master plan? Making a cheapo horror movie guaranteed to make Coop, Sean, and Matt filthy rich! It’s a terrible idea, and Sean knows it. But he actually is desperate for cash — and for a way to wipe that big fat L off his girlfriend-less forehead. But when he agrees to write a script about the attack of zombie-vampire humanzees, he has no idea just how powerful a chick magnet this movie will be. Suddenly Sean is juggling not one but three interested ladies. There’s his accidental-girlfriend-turned-psychotic-stalker, Evelyn. There’s the wicked hot actress from drama class, Leyna, who seems willing to do anything to land the starring role. And even his twin sister’s gothed-out best friend, Nessa, is looking at Sean in a whole new way. Will any of them wind up as Sean’s true leading lady? Will Sean stop being a doormat and finally start calling the shots?

After Swim the Fly and Beat the Band, I figured I'd be in for a treat when it was Sean's turn to narrate - and Call the Shots didn't disappoint. There are the elements that made the first two great: over-the-top, funny-as-sh** situations (many involving bathroom humor, which I'm a sucker for), an nearly impossible goal, the ceaseless pursuit of girls, and the endless new vocabulary for bodily functions/body parts/etc. But most of all I couldn't wait to see the friends do what great friends do best: have each others' backs, make each other laugh, and really love each other. I nearly cried at the end of this one, saying goodbye to these three goofballs.
Call the Shots is fun, full of great characters, and is just a great light hearted read. Calame has done a fantastic job maintaining the perfect balance of awkward teenager and relatable/likable character. Of course readers of the previous two books in the series, Swim the Fly and Beat the Band, will rejoice in seeing their favorite rag-tag group of teens back again in this seemingly final book in the trilogy.Of course, while I recommend to read the books in the order they were released, Calame has created a series where if necessary each book could stand on its own, perfect for readers to jump in at any moment.Of course, besides fun characters, readers will crack up with Coop's insane plans, which in past books has included everything from going to a nude beach (and seeing things they all wish they could forget), joining battle of the bands when none of them know how to play an instrument, and now in Call the Shots, shooting a horror movie on a $1000 budget to win at terror fest, a horror film festival in New York.Really this book is fantastic for anyone looking for a light engaging read, where you'll relate to the characters, have fun following in their insane plans, and be glued until the last page. All in all a great read that I'd easily recommend.
Don Calame's books are some of my favorite reads. Call the Shots was just as good as Swim the Fly and Beat the Band. I love the audio, too. Well crafted characters, very funny, and an enjoyable read. Laugh out loud fun!
How this book is like Moby Dick: the word dick, or synonyms, are used frequently. The protagonist suffers. It's an adventure story. Destined to become a classic.How this book is not like Moby Dick: it's more entertaining, funnier, and occasionally crude and lewd -which makes it a much better read for a teenage boy. Or an adult man, with the brain of the teenage boy - which apparently is most of them.If you are a fundamentalist, you will be offended, and this book is not for you. But for those with an open mind, you will find that it's well-written, full of heart and it does a wonderful job of depicting both the agony and ecstasy of being a teenager. It's essentially a book about friendship, longing, and growing up. I laughed out loud, and also found it very moving at times.I will definitely buy and read the first two books in this series.
Hillarious and wonderful! Have to read it to understand! Don Calame did not disappoint with this last book in his trilogy. This one was laugh out loud funny, and I mean to the point of people giving me odd looks! :)
this book is thoroughly amazing. i want more books with these characters. call the shots earned 5 stars. if you are wondering about getting this book don't and get it.
