About me:
David Yoo is the author of the forthcoming novel STOP ME IF YOU'VE HEARD THIS ONE BEFORE (Hyperion, Sept 30, 2008) and the novel GIRLS FOR BREAKFAST (Delacorte, 2005).

Advance Praise for STOP ME IF YOU'VE HEARD THIS ONE BEFORE:

"David Yoo's voice is so witty and charming it only seems fair to give warning: he'll break the hearts of teenage readers of all ages with this bittersweet love story." - Jonathan Lethem

"Albert is one of the most unique characters I've ever encountered in fiction or in life. His absurd and deeply romantic fall into first love is funny, heartbreaking and surprising. David Yoo is a major talent." -- E. Lockhart, author of The Boyfriend List and The Disreputable History of Frankie Landau-Banks

"I laughed so hard I had to keep some Chapstick handy to keep my lips from cracking." -- Gene Yang

"Subtly, Stop Me If You've Heard This One Before is delightfully subversive. David Yoo has a rare talent: he's able to make you laugh, sigh, wince, and cheer--all at the same time. " -- A.M. Jenkins

The Book Trailer for STOP ME:



Praise for GIRLS FOR BREAKFAST

"Girls for Breakfast performs the neat trick of taking the misery of adolescence and transforming it into fiction that is funny, engrossing, and perceptive. David Yoo is a talented writer with lots to say about sex, ethnicity, and whitebread suburbia." - Tom Perrotta (author of Little Children and Election)

"Funny, dark, and subversive. Beware: you’ll never be able to look at a guy the same way after you read this book."--Rachel Cohn, bestselling author of Shrimp and Gingerbread

Please finish your next book so you can return to our book club--and maybe get an Avon Mtn mansion of your own!
