LE CHAPTER ONE: GETTING STARTED

Book by Louie Sachar,
Holding the book, considering the amount of time i had wasted before finally getting to the task, how god damn thick the book and how small the font was, and the prejudices I had about how good a book meant to be read for homework could be, this seemed like an extremely straining task. However, after a few pages of moanery, I started to realize that there is more to the book than I had thought. The book is apparently meant for an age group somewhere near mine, it is written in a interesting and compelling fashion that takes the reader places (despite the title's lack of appeal) and makes the reader wonder what will happen on the forthcoming pages. One thing i particularly like, is that Sachar did not make the common mistake of using his exaggerated and softened perspective of "teen speak" which is nothing like the language spoken by real people of that age group. So anyway, Stanley Yelnats (see whatcha did there) is -as always- screwed over and punished for a crime he hasn't committed. Will he be able to cope? Who the hell is that warden? We shall see...
