BOOK REVIEW "PARANOID PARK"

Paranoid Park is a young adult novel by Blake Nelson. It was published in 2006 and it is a psycho thriller.
Blake Nelson grew up in Portland, attended Wesleyan University and graduated from New York University. He is an American author of adult and children’s literature.

First of all I want to start with the content of the book. Once the narrator and his best friend Jared go to Paranoid Park for skating.
Another weekend they also want to go to Paranoid Park, but Jared is invited to a party, so the narrator goes there by himself. He hops a train with one of the urchins he just met there and a really horrible accident happens. This causes a lot of problems for the narrator…
In my opinion it is a really good written book, because the reader doesn’t really know what happens next.
Now I want to go on with the main character. The main character has no name, so I call him narrator.
At the beginning of the book the narrator is a normal guy who has a lot of fun with skating and hanging around with friends, he is also good at school. After the accident he changes into a introverted guy which isn’t able to talk to anybody about his problems.
From my point of view Blake Nelson created a really interesting and multifarious main character.
The style of writing is very interesting because it’s sometimes written in letter form. It’s a nice change when you look at the normal writing style.??
It's different from other writing styles.
I assume that this book wants to show us what happens when you do illegal things. There are a lot of situations where teens doesn’t think about what could happen. This book wants us to show what could happen when people, not only children, are irresponsible!

I entrust this book to everyone who likes thrilling books, which are written in a different way. Finally I want to say that I really enjoyed reading this book.
My rate is 9.5 from 10 points.

Dear Sir / Madame,

Job application

I’m writing in response to your advertisement for the job as a person who takes care of children.

I’m writing because I’m especially interested in working with children. I’m also a very athletic person and I can also meet deadlines.
Another positive thing is that I’m good at organization.
From 2006 to 2008 I worked in a kindergarten. On weekends I worked as a babysitter in various families.
So I can deal with problems kids can have and I think I also know what they want to do.

I would welcome the opportunity to discuss my application with you. I look forward to hearing from you and I can be reached at any time.

Yours sincerely, Ines Peter

Dear Joana,

I’m writing this letter, because I want tell you how much problems we have in our family at the moment. Jack hates me, because I’ve told dad about this venereal infection, but I only wanted to help him. So I honestly don’t know what his problem is.
Another problem is dad. I’m really scared of him. I was really appalled when I saw how dad reacted when I told him about Jack’s problem. I also want to tell you about mum. I know that she’s our provider, but we hardly ever see each other, only at night. She wants to talk to me in kitchen, but I’m not interested in such conversations.
One very important thing is the problem between mum and dad. I hope they won’t get divorced, I’m really anxious about that.
My biggest problem is how to solve the problems.
I think I should talk with Jack and apologize that I told dad.
Do you think I should talk with mum, because she’s never at home?
I also should talk with dad, but every time he assumes the worst. The last thing I want to tell you is how to solve their marital crisis. I don’t know a solution for this. In my opinion their biggest problem is that dad often boasts with his sexual exploits in the past. I doubt they will manage it, but I hope so.

I think this letter is boring for you, but I feel happy after talking about it with you.

Love, Ines
