I tried reading this on the subway on my way to work and people thought I was crazy because this book had me howling in laughter. The hero is this larger than life personality who is fascinating at the same time he is a bit pathetic. I would recommend this book to anyone. ( ) This is honestly one of the funniest novels I've read in ages. I practically fell off my chair laughing a few times, pounding the table, tears streaming down my face. Think of it as like Adrian Mole, but with normal parents and more of a plot. The protagonist is your typical thirteen-year-old boy: arrogant, selfish, oblivious, and besieged by puberty. The author portrayed the adolescent boy friendships perfectly, and the details about the narrator's growing up meshed perfectly into the story. The only flaw I find is that his turnaround from a selfish jerk to an altruistic activist was a bit too sudden to be believable. But that's a minor thing in such a wonderful gem of a story. I picked this up because the title intrigued me. It's an entertaining story about a 13 year old boy who is torn between supporting a local soup kitchen, where he's worked as a volunteer, and supporting his family who are part of the local business community. It's written in diary format and is, at times, laugh out loud funny. Porn and fried chicken are what the reluctant hero of this diary-style story likes best. Unfortunately, a stint volunteering at the local soup kitchen put him in the middle between his soup kitchen friends and his business-owner father. Reading the way 13-year-old boys talk, this book is laugh-out-loud funny. Should appeal to reluctant readers, both boys and girls. aucune critique | ajouter une critique
Meet a teenage hero who likes nothing better than to sit back with a bucket of fried chicken and a girlie magazine, waiting for his family plumbing fortune to come to him. But when our hero gets into some serious trouble, he's forced to volunteer at a local soup kitchen where he finds himself at the center of a struggle between the rich and the poor, the selfish and the selfless. It is a worthy cause he could care less about until the day he stumbles across a shocking piece of information. What happens next surprises everybody, including our very reluctant hero. Exploits of a Reluctant (But Extremely Goodlooking) Hero is a novel of adventure, intrigue, Ukrainian dance lessons, disruptive horseplay, inappropriate ogling and some truly heroic consumption of junk food. Adrian Mole meets South Park in this often outrageous and always hilarious trip into the inner world of a boy teetering on the brink of manhood. Aucune description trouvée dans une bibliothèque |
