Lucky
This woman has had a terrible life, and yet she still makes
it through, if this happened to me I’d want to die, and they called her lucky.
The man who did this is disgusting; I don’t know how he can live with himself.
The tone of the story was very dark, and was very bad. She was pissed at this
guy, I would be too, and I would be just as angry. I’m amazed that that
disgusting man tried to apologize after he raped her, if you wanted to
apologize you shouldn’t have done it in the first place.
Scar Tissue
Kiedis has had some problems in his life, namely drugs.
Interesting background to the band, I didn’t know Kiedis met Flea and Hillel in
high school. Chad Smith really pushed the band in different directions. Coke
really fucked him up for a lot of his life, and so did heroin; he fought with
his addiction till about three years ago. Hillel’s death really messed him up
bad, he denied the fact that Hillel had died, and this messed up the band a
lot, Flea left for a while. The main message of the book was stay true to
yourself, which really rings true with me.
Marley and Me
Jenny and John Grogan take on Marley, an out of control dog,
they do this because they want to practice raising a dog before raising
children. When they go to Ireland, they hire a dog sitter, and Marley is just
out of control while they’re away. Jenny has a child halfway through the book
named Patrick. Patrick and Marley end up being best friends. After moving to a
rich town, they decide they don’t like it and move to Pennsylvania. Marley gets
a stomach condition near the end of the book, and the Grogan family has to put
him down.
The Liars Club
The tone was funny, but with sad parts. In trouble a lot,
but very hard headed about it. Lecia was the real house runner, Charlie Marie
just didn’t do anything to try and run the house. Charlie Marie was not a very
good role model, like at all, she was insane. J. P. Karr was an alcoholic with
few ill side effects. Charlie and J. P. fought a lot, the little sister
pretended to film it, and they fought so often that she got up to reel 1000.
Her mom went crazy, like absolutely insane, shattered the light bulbs, and
tried to kill them with a butcher knife.
Cinderella Story
Bill Murray has been in over 30 movies, including Caddy
Shack, Lost in Translation and many more. It takes place on golf courses all
over the world. The book is about his career as a golfer, from his beginning as
a caddy to when the book ends playing with famous people. This is mostly just a
book about experiences, not a life changing epiphany.
A Stolen Life
Lucy Dugard was kidnapped at age 11 and kept in the backyard
of Phillip Garrido and his wife Nancy, she’s writing the book to show Phillip
that she doesn’t have to hide any more. Lucy was always hopeful of rescue, but she
still hated her captor with a passion, I would too. Nancy and Phillip were in
it together in kidnapping Lucy. The Parole officers are really stupid, they
never freaking checked in the back yard. She’s given animals throughout the
book, but that asshole Phillip took them away as soon as she got attached to
them. Her first child came into the world on August, 4, 1994, and another one,
she refers to them as A and G.
The Glass Castle
The entire book takes place in deserts. The dad is very
smart, but has a drinking problem, but she still loves him. The mom is the
child of the family, not working and thinking of herself before others. Her
sister Lori, was different from her siblings, she wanted to be an artist. The
narrator’s name is Jeannette Walls, the mother of the house. Brain Walls is her
brother, she’s the closest to him, and he’s the father of the house. Maureen is
the youngest of the Walls children, and she’s the most distant from Jeannette
and the rest of the family.
