It is very interesting the type of peer-pressure boys encounter during their teenage years in opposition to women.
No I'm kidding, I love the multiple narrators, it is unsettling at first but definitely brilliant! Third, the book is a combination of first person point of view of different characters and third person narrator or w here you see a situation from all the angles, just in case you weren't horrified enough. Second, the book is about relationships seen from the point of view of these same three or where you realise that boys hardly think beyond their "knob" (as if you needed a confirmation of some sort). įirst, the book is told from the point of view of three male teenagers (lethal combination if you ask me) or where looking in the brain of a boy is definitely less attractive than looking at their sixpack. It is hilarious, incredibly well written and disturbingly accurate (oh yes, I'm looking at you boys). I - obviously - immediately wanted to read one of his books and I was advised this one.ĭoing It is one of the most interesting YA book I have read in my entire life. I had never heard of Melvin Burgess before (how rude of me, I know) and I discovered this author's unique perspective on YA literature at the conference. So last Saturday, the ever-lovely Becky The Bookette kindly invited me to a Melvin Burgess event with Jo Once Upon a Bookcase and Ink and Paper and Non from Catnip Publishing.įor a complete summary of the event, check out Becky's article since she took plenty notes and pictures !
