Sutcliffe gets well into the adolescent mind of his narrator, with a convincing mix or whining, wondering, and debunking. The characters he creates are interesting and likeable, the humour is good, his observation of our world and mindset is neat, all the while managing to stay cheery not sneery, so the book is maddeningly easy and enjoyable to read. nessuna recensione | aggiungi una recensione

Fifteen-year-old Sam is not a famous vlogger, he's never gone viral, and he doesn't want to be the Next Big Thing. In fact he's ordinary and proud of it. None of which was a problem until Dad got rich and Mum made the whole family move to London. Now Sam's off to the North London Academy for the Gifted and Talented, where everyone's busy planning Hollywood domination or starting alt-metal psychedelica crossover bands. Sam knows he'll never belong, even if he wanted to. And that's before he ends up on stage wearing nothing but a fur onesie... Non sono state trovate descrizioni di biblioteche |

Well.
There are some quite funny moments in this book and I would have liked it, however, there was a problematic subplot which I think remained unchallenged. The main character's brother joins a band thats "vibe" is LGBTQIA. So in order to stay in the band he says he is gay, despite being straight. He also makes comments about how being gay makes girls more interested in him and they invite him into their homes and bedrooms etc. That's very problematic on a few levels. It really is a shame because it was so nice to have a funny, high school story about an unremarkable teen making his way through life. I don't think I'll be able to recommend this to anyone.
