C.D. Payne’s first novel “Youth in Revolt,” debuted as a hilarious movie back in January 2010 at #9. The film is a combination of Payne’s first three books. “Youth in Revolt” was released on DVD on June 15, 2010 and stars Michael Cera.

“I was always skeptical,” said Payne, when asked about the accuracy of book-to-movie. “I think it was rather a miracle that they could make a movie out of such a long book, with so many characters. It retained a lot of the book, and the movie makes sense all the way through.”

Books five and six of Payne’s series: “Young and Revolting: The Continental Journals of Nick Twisp” and “Revoltingly Young: The Journals of Nick Twisp’s Younger Brother” were published by Infinity Publishing.
