Smackin'

So, i'm done with The Diary of a Young Girl Annie Frank, yay! Now, i'm reading this book called Smack by Melvin Burgess. I started reading this book before I started reading the Annie Frank book, but then I read that and I kind of forgot about this. I actually really liked this book when I first started reading it, but then I kind of like veered away from it. Because I forgot what it was really about. I'm not going to write about the book, or the plot as much but just the way the book is.

The book is about a bunch of wanton teens and their lives. It's quite interesting and very humorous actually.  I kind of forgot the character's names and there are a lot so I can't tell you that. But, it's mostly about what happens, what goes on in a teenage girl's and boy's life. Which is pretty much; boyfriend/girlfriend, drugs, sex, etc...

I'm like 30 pages into the book, but I think i'm going to stop because I don't even know what's going on! I started reading it again in Project R.E.A.L again, and I was so confused. The book is written in kind of a unique way, that I have seen in a couple of books, but not much. It's unique, because it's not written by like chapters but by a character and their thoughts. Like for ex: Um... Emily and like Gabe. I don't know, haha. So it would be like how Emily sees what happens, what she thinks and then the next part would be like the same situation but in Gabe's perspective. And that's how it goes throughout the whole book, basically. It's also written in that like English type of way, with those English words/curses. And oh, I almost forgot! It has like a dictionary for the English words, which I found very amusing and informative. 

So, yeah. I didn't really want to post today, and so that's why it's crap blah. But I reccommend this to anyone who is an enterprising person, someone who is open to books. Because this is definitely one to check out so yeah. I'm just not reading it cause i'm a lazy person, who doesn't like to reread.
