nellsir 's review for:
This book is so different than most books. The story is told through documents. And it's not about two people's lives it's more like how one incident got out of hand and that lead to the ruin of two peoples' lives.
Philip realised how it had got out of hand and all the adults that he could talk to were completely oblivious. But that's how his parents act basically throughout the entire book. You can tell that they're trying but, they either just assume Philip's upset because of hormones or they ask briefly and never go any deeper. He's freaking out about track and his grades and his parents don't notice! There just SO OBSESSED with the whole humming/singing incident that they don't pay attention to the fact that all the kids at school are giving him a hard time now!
And DON"T EVEN GET ME STARTED ON THE POOR TEACHER! How could people really blame HER for his suspension? SERIOUSLY! SHE'S JUST THE TEACHER! And how come the school board can't seem to do anything right for the life of them!
HOW COME THE SCHOOL BOARD JUST TALKS TO THE PARENTS OR THE NEWSPAPERS OR SOMETHING! GOD! THEY WONDER WHY THE FACTS ARE ALL ONE-SIDED! THEY DON'T TELL PEOPLE THEIR STORY!
Don't get me wrong I loved this book. It felt 100% like this would happen in real life and Avi makes the diary entries and letters and conversations and everything else flow together perfectly!
