In my book, " Anything you want" by Geoff Herbach the main characters are very scared, clueless, grow up to fast, and close minded. They are all these emotions because they think they are older than they are and accidentally get pregnant. At first, they didn't know at all that she was pregnant. At first they didn't except the truth because they were shocked. I did feel everything they were feeling because the author expressed everyone's emotions very well. The characters have a lot of emotions throughout the story. It is good that the characters had a lot emotions because if they didn't it would be boring because there wouldn't be any connection with the story.
The major plots were not predictable. I like stories where nothing is predictable throughout the story because it makes the story more interesting and intriguing. The authors writing is very straight forward. This story is a very serious book because it talks about teen pregnancy. There is some parts where he puts humor in it to lighten the mood of the readers. He wanted to relay a message that being pregnant as a teenager is very difficult mentally and physically draining. Geoff is a very good author because he keeps his readers into the story. Once i started reading the book I could not stop.
The main characters did not work well together well at first, but when they both excepted the fact that they did this to themselves and it is coming fast. If I were to change anything about this book, it would be how the parents weren't really in the picture at all. I think just because kids mess up does not mean the parents need to abandon their kids.
Yeah, definitely agree that not including the parents in the story is a problem. It creates a picture of teenagers ruling the world when we really have several problems to fix. This is a helpful review and it gives me a straight forward and clear picture of what I can expect from teenage novel I'd be interested to read in the future.
ReplyDeleteI find it interesting how the main characters did not get along with one another on the beginning of the book, considering they will have to learn to get along. This makes me wonder about how they fixed their relationship. Also, I appreciate how detailed your thoughts were in the review.
