The book I chose was "10 Things To Do Before I Die", A novel by Daniel Ehrenhaft. The title is pretty interesting don't you think? Well that's why I chose it. It really caught my attention. I want to find out those 10 things and why this person is going to die? or if hes really dying? Believe it or not yes I have been reading. It has been torture I am on page 64, and it's not so bad. So far this book really reminds me of the book Part-Time Indian that I independently read in my English class last year, although I can honestly say Part-Time Indian was much much better.
I really like how this book is written in a first person point of view, it helps me relate more to the character that way. However the author is pretty predictable I would say. The way he writes is funny he uses simple language. It's easy to read therefore it is enjoyable. The main character is Ted he is 16, very unlucky kid, he is not so popular, his circle is small. He surrounds him self with his best friend Mark and Marks girlfriend Nikki. Third wheeler? I think so (that's me too). However he does get a girlfriend Rachel Klein farther in the book(i still don't have a boyfriend).
Ted and his friends are casually at the Circle Eat Dinner they usually get fries, burger and a salad. Ted always eats the fries. After ted feels unusually sick, starts to vomit and everything. Could it be the fries, that will cause him to die? This is what i mean by predictable, he's the only one that ate the fries? His friends are fine? It could be it but who knows.
This book really confuses me sometimes, the plots change too much. It makes me reread everything over again to get a good understanding of it. Overall this is not so bad. Still do not think this book is "The One".
