Hi readers:
SYNOPSIS:
Two misfits.
One extraordinary love.
Eleanor...
Red hair, wrong
clothes. Standing behind him until he turns his head. Lying beside him until he
wakes up. Making everyone else seem drabber and flatter and never good
enough...Eleanor.
Park...
He knows she'll love a
song before he plays it for her. He laughs at her jokes before she ever gets to
the punch line. There's a place on his chest, just below his throat, that makes
her want to keep promises...Park.
Set over the course of one school year, this is
the story of two star-crossed sixteen-year-olds—smart enough to know that first
love almost never lasts, but brave and desperate enough to try.
CRITICISM:
Eleanor and
Park was incredible, I felt so connected with the characters that each time
that Eleanor felt sad i was feeling sad as well. I just finished reading
Fangirl the other book of Rainbow Rowell and i realized that Rainbow Rowell is
one of those writers know how teens feel; know how to make fall in love with
the characters. For me Eleanor and Park was a very real story, i truly believe
that everything the characters suffer and feel, may happen to us.
Eleanor is a girl with very low self-esteem,
she believes that she doesn´t deserves to be loved and all the time thinks that
people see her as a work of charity rather than a real person, and I think that
the topic to talk about in this book happens so much in our society and I
mention this because I have suffered from the same thing, as a teenager we
begin to look at our own shortcomings and not our qualities and sometimes we
fell apart ; we feel ugly and misunderstood, because I´ve felt this way same
because of the comments people say ,we
let the words of others get to our self-esteem and we don´t have to let
that happen. We shouldn't be afraid to show who we really are, we are all
different, and we are all crazy and no matter what the other people say.
That is the
moral of this book, we are all unique and we are all beautiful in our own way,
it does not really matter the physical, nor the manner of how we dress, the
only thing that matters is what we show from inside-out.
I am grateful to
Rainbow Rowell for saying that been
different from others, doesn’t makes us less or more than them, it makes us
equal

Hi readers:
SYNOPSIS:
Clay Jensen returns home from school to find a mysterious
box with his name on it lying on his porch. Inside he discovers cassette tapes
recorded by Hannah Baker—his classmate and crush—who committed suicide two
weeks earlier.
On tape, Hannah explains that there are thirteen reasons why
she decided to end her life. Clay is one of them. If he listens, he’ll find out
how he made the list.
CRITICISM:
Let’s start
talking about Thirteen Reasons Why by Jay Asher. At the begging of the book the
first pages are very confusing, but then when we start reading and we get what
the writer eanted to make in there. I liked the book it has a good plot and
good characters and it makes you feel everything that author wanted you to
feel, the emotions of the characters, but the thing I didn´t like at all was
the way that the actuall book was written, I really don´t know if the ebook I
read was incorrect or that the way that writer wanted it to be, I will explain
myself;
The books
has to different POVs. Why that confused me you may ask? Well the book is
written like this:
I was in
the party drinking and having fun.
I´m walking
in the park then I almost fell.
I was like; What! Weren´t you in the party! But then I realized that every sentence is one
different POV or every paragraph, so that confused a lot. And the worst of the
things is that you have to figure out who is really talking.
Now let’s
talk about the about the book, the main topic of the book is Suicide and
Bullying. So it is not a book for everyone, especially if you are sensitive to
this topics then please don´t read it. The plot or the storyline is very genuine,
and I think is almost the way that John Green writes, but John Green is more romantic
and humoristic, this book is more harsh in the main topic.
I give this

Dear friend,
I am writing to you because
she said you listen and understand
and didn't try to sleep
with that person at that party even though
you could have. Please
don't try to figure out who she is because
then you might figure out
who I am, and I really don't want you to
do that. I will call people
by different names or generic names
because I don't want you to
find me. I didn't enclose a return
address for the same
reason. I mean nothing bad by this. Honest.
I just need to know that
someone out there listens and
understands and doesn't try
to sleep with people even if they
could have. I need to know
that these people exist.
I think you of all people
would understand that because I think
you of all people are alive
and appreciate what that means. At
least I hope you do because
other people look to you for strength
and friendship and it's
that simple.
(First page of the book)
This book is my favorite, I read it last year and I had re-read it once, and every time I am like;
This book is freaking awesome! Maybe I like this book so much because you can relate with it so easily. I thought that I was like Charlie, excepting the fact I do have friends. The way he described everything was excellent. This book will make you laugh and think about things in life or in problems that you have as a teenager.
The book is written like letters, so an example:
November 13, 1992
My friend, everything is going out of my hands.
Problems come in to my life and never come out.
That is how Stephen decided to wrote the book. When you finish this book, it may get you to read more books or to write. In my life that book means a lot, not just because it gave me the impulse to write this blog, it has meaning because it made me realize I am a WALLFLOWER
I
love this book and the movie to, but of course I love more the book
Hope
you read it, and hope you like it too.
I
just wanted to add something, this book is for
TEENAGER AND ADULTS ONLY
