Okay, let's proceed.
Today, I'm going to be reviewing the book that I have just finished reading two days ago and ABSOLUTELY LOVED IT! And this book is....
STRUCK BY LIGHTNING BY THE ONE AND ONLY, CHRIS COLFER! Also known as Kurt on the TV show "Glee." I loved that show so much. It was very...very... ugh. All you Gleeks will know how I feel. ;) Anyways, this book is all about a boy named Carson Phillips and the book basically looks like his everyday journal. It's pretty cool. Carson has only one goal: To escape the hell he's in called "school."
Carson didn't really fit in the school. He was "unique" as the other characters say. Carson lives in a very small town between nowhere and somewhere. The population of this place is under 20,000 people. Actually, not even close. More like.. under 10,000. He lives in a town where everything is all "cliche" as he puts it. That's why he hates it. His one goal is to escape his local school and get into his dream school, Northwestern University and pursue his dream to become a hard-hitting journalist. Then, one day, his guidance counselor tells him that he can't go into Northwestern unless he makes a literary magazine for his application. Which means, he needs submissions. From other students. Yikes.
I gave this book 4.2 /5 because if you guys watched the movie and want read the book, I'm pretty sure you don't have to read the book after you watch the movie because the movie is EXACTLY like the book. I haven't watched the movie yet but I am planning to. I heard it's really good and I'm also watching it because CHRIS COLFER AND REBEL WILSON IN ONE MOVIE. Uh, yes please.
I didn't give the book 5 stars because when I started reading it, I thought it wasn't going somewhere, the beginning was kind of boring but it gets better when you get to the part where he's already in school. I loved that part. (I'm not gonna spoil, don't worry.)
Also, it's a short read, It has 258 pages and perfect for a "Back to school" read. It's perfect for me since I'm going back to school next Tuesday so that's fun. But, I don't recommend this to the young ones since most of the story has bad words on it. You can read it if you want, it depends on you. You're gonna love it.
Anyways, I definitely recommend this book to you guys and I'll insert the picture of the book down below if you guys wanna check that out. I definitely enjoyed reading this book. It's a really funny, interesting read and guys, Chris Colfer. Rebel Wilson. So yeah, be sure to check this book out and make sure to comment down below on what book you want to see next. Actually, I'm letting you decide what book am I gonna review next. It's either Girl Online by Zoe Sugg, A Little Something Different by Sandy Hall and Marley and Me by John Grogan. I just had to put Marley and Me in there. Too cute to pass out. I have really old books. My books are from 90s-today. Old books are precious to me.
Okay, comment down below what would you like to see next and I'll see you guys later!
Bye! And remember, Read. Lead. Succeed. (I'm keeping it.)
