While reading this book, in the first chapter, on the 2nd page, when Dez sees Casio, he says hes 15 years old, which is still super young. and then when they are in Club Ga As and they were talkinga bout the good old days in highschool when they are still kids. when Casio says "i was even youger then you, Dez. I was only 11 and you were already twelve" and then Dez replies with "Yeah but them days are wiped now, Casio. We're adults ourselves now, with big adult probes." That threw me off, sense when is 15 known as a big adult, and when do you refer to "the good old days" as being three years ago?And when you are 15 you are just starting highschool! your not long enough out of it to refer to it as the good old days. But Casio and Dez must be seen as young because when they come across the man fixing his car, he calls Casio And Dez "nosey punks" and usually teenagers are referred to as punks. So I'm officially confused about this book and the ages.



The language in this book is so odd also! i remember people wearing those jelly bracelets and having like a million on their arm in jr high. you would go to clairs or taget and buy like a pack of 6 for adollar. eww i never liked them. but in this book, people are eating them! what the heck! and for Casio to throw the guy with the car one, and it was a gross flavor and thsoe Dez and Casio run away. does that mean the guy with the car had to eat it? obviously if a stranger throws some jelly thing at you your not goig to eat it. so why would it have been so horrible? maybe it smells bad? idk. weird.



hahah 'cheer beer' seems funny to me! but again what is this 15 year olddoing drinking somethig called "cheer beer" maybe its job is to only make you a happy drunk. no violent drunkness comes out when your drinking cheer beer! wouldnt that be amazing. Maybe you could drive after you drank cheer beer and there would be no road rage EVER AGAIN! everyone would have to have a cheer beer before they stepped out the door. everyone owuld be nice. no violence ever! it would be illegal NOT to be under the influence of cheer beer. wouldnt that be nice. hahaha.

I think the whole idea of the Body Artists, and all the other groups is just silly. like these are supposed to be gangs? agaist him? i honestly cant take this book seriously after reading that part. like it was going towards some pretty interesting realistic (somewhat) parts, and then after that it just turned to sillyness. the book took on a whole different tone to me now that i read that.

Well that was just sort-of my begining opinions of the book, ill read on more and see what else i think of!
