Noah Can't Even

Product Information

But then SHOW us that, show us Noah finally being brave, show how they deal with it, show us love winning the day. He is bullied and ignored, and shelters his soul within elaborate game-playing scenarios with Harry. And while I got a vague sense of Harry, he wasn't really on page enough for the attraction to feel completely, unquestionably real. Which I expected because Noah is socially inept, there were moments he would talk like an adult, a very wise one at that, but interacting with people were a no-no.

If you are interested in stalking him, he still lives in London, where he spends a lot of time telling people that Noah Can’t Even is only partly autobiographical, and his mum has definitely never done a Beyoncé tribute act. It felt like so much "wackiness" was piled up, one absurd thing after another, unloading on poor Noah. This is a fun coming out story with a character so endearing and frustrating you can’t help pulling for him to work it out and be alright. It's a quick read because he manipulates chapter endings cleverly - you cannot not go on to the next chapter.There's a nice HFN that's appropriate for the age of the characters, but also an obvious set-up for a sequel. Tak, tak, wiem, Noah jest szkolnym nerdem, ale wiecie, w przeciwieństwie do Polski, oni tam mają w Wielkiej Brytanii w szkole taki przedmiot jak edukacja seksualna. Noah Can’t Even was Longlisted for the Branford Boase Award, won the Wirral Paperback of the Year, was shortlisted for the Leeds Book Awards and got Bronze in the Amazing Book Awards!

His mother is on the dole and they are usually quite poor, but she earns extra money by performing Beyoncé tribute acts under a stage name. To, co miało być przyjemne i zabawne, okazało się stekiem bzdurnych zwrotów akcji, z idiotycznym, wcale nieśmiesznym, za to reklamowanym jako "brytyjski" humorem.His father disappeared years ago, his mother's Beyoncé tribute act is an unacceptable embarrassment, and his beloved gran is no longer herself.

Noah will need him now that he has a scam artist half brother and father, now back with mom, in the picture. Anche il comportamento di Noah mi è sembrato un po' ripetitivo e ridondante e alla lunga mi ha stancato. And then Jess, and then Josh, and Eric and Connor and Kyle and a myriad other characters play their respective roles to stir things up royally for Noah, mixing in a few alarming surprises on the way.Noah is probably on the autism spectrum, having massive social skill issues, obsessions with the way things need to be and with mystery detectives, a point that makes his unraveling the details of his predicament insanely funny. Okay, sure, some of the plot read like a soap opera--but sometimes it really does feel that way growing up. Sorry, ale który żyjący w 21 wieku 15-16-latek nie wypowiada słowa "seks", używając zamiast tego "tenteges"? Then, illuminated with alcohol, Noah’s world goes entirely off the rails, triggering a madcap series of events that go from bad to worse, as all of his dreams of normality come tumbling down around him. Noah is kissed by his best friend Harry at a party and that, along with a billion crazy antics, blow up in his face, sending his world into a spiral.

It is a long and harrowing journey (during which you keep laughing out loud, even as tears threaten) that leads him back into the light. Jest jedna scena, w której dochodzi do prawie gwałtu, a już z całą pewnością można to zakwalifikować jako molestowanie seksualne. But I've read teen books that are clearly for teens and not for me, and I've either still enjoyed them or thought nope, not for me, and moved on. Tak, zdaję sobie sprawę, że w realnym życiu często tak właśnie jest, ale to nie znaczy, że mamy to przyjmować jako coś oczywistego i pokazywać nastolatkom, że takie zachowanie jest normalne i akceptowalne.It didn’t throw me out of enjoyment that it got melodramatic at points, because the author kept it funny and moving.
