I thought this book was pretty good, I liked how it was written in a diary form. I enjoyed reading about Mary Lou’s summer, the fact that it was written as a journal just made me feel that much closer to her. It made it more personal for Mary Lou and easier for me to put myself in her situations.
One thing I didn’t like about the novel was the way Mary Lou wrote, sometimes she would say Alex Cheveeey and it got annoying. It also got annoying when she would say “Sigh...” after some of her sentences. When she would write about Alex it seemed like she had never been around any guys before, she’d get worried about the littlest things.
A part that I found funny was when Mary Lou was at Aunt Radene’s and everyone was picking on her. I know it may sound mean, but the way she reacted was quite funny.
I felt sorry for Mary Lou when Mr. Furtz died. Mary Lou really liked him and she thought he was a great neighbor. I also felt sorry for her when Carl Ray ended up in hospital at the end because Mary Lou just started to like him.
For my grade 8 final E.L.A project I read the novel Absolutely Normal Chaos. On this blog I am pretending that each character in the book had a diary. I will be writing and posting made up diary entries from some of the characters. The last post will be my opinion on the book. :)
