My opinion:

Perhaps some of you are surprised that I read a book. I also wonder, as a rule do not reach for the book, that do not belong to the fantastic literature, and certainly not to those which seem to me trivial booklet for people of school age and middle school. Your mileage may vary, and we sometimes we go or do something, before the earlier zapieraliśmy the arms and legs ...


"It all started in the summer holidays before the second class." Bryce has just moved with his family to a new home, and already has trouble with the Juli Baker, who turns out to be his neighbor. In addition to Bryce Juli is a real plague gorgeous, smart girl who does not want to leave him alone, and it comes everywhere with him. Juli, in turn, believes that Bryce is the greatest guy in the world with wonderful blue eyes. It has a zadurzona his ears, and believes it is owed her first kiss. Is Juli finally sees what really is Bryce? And Bryce understand that Juli can be quite different than he seems?

very skeptical as I took up reading this book, and after a few pages may not be able to break away from reading and soak in it at all. Yes, you read it right. Sam could not believe it, but the book I really liked, I sticked to it and read it in one evening. I do not know what I am so fascinated in it. Can it lightly and amusingly told story, written in plain language? Either way is a narrative running through it by Juli Bryce, who have a completely different take back and presented the same situation? Or do you just own heroes, their outlook on life and adventures which they met? I think all of this and a few other elements meant that the book is such a pleasant and interesting reading.

Besides the fact that this is a book about growing up and first love, it also raises other issues. It shows how people living side by side seems to know each other when they really do not know about you. How after a while, sometimes only after several years, we see the true face of a person close to us. And what if we do not like what you saw? He says that early childhood shapes the character. How one event can change our way of seeing the world. That there are people in the world with an iron backbone who can fight for our rights, and what seems to them to be correct. Do not give up, and sometimes in an unusual way affect our existing force. But it also shows that there are people who judge others and look down on them, although even they do not know them well. Who are simply cowards, because they can not tell the truth. They prefer to lie than to face his own fears.

I do not know whether this book is as unique as it seems to me. I do not discern in these positions because I do not read such literature. Some of you probably read much better books that tell a similar story, so this might be for you to spend quite ordinary. However, I am completely enchanted by this booklet, the main characters and I think that the history contained in it, you can learn something and rethink some things. It's nice that besides the usual, shallow books for younger readers get such valuable gems.

My Rating: 5 / 6

I'm, I'm alive. How not to charm ... This lack of time, and how not to lack of time, then no internet. nasty contraption, giving a signal posypałosię on Saturday and until today we were back to connecting to the network, but it's always something broken, and I'm just going to get. I wanted to catch up on your blogs and to respond to your comments, but I do not know if it will anytime soon. The perversity of inanimate objects ... It's a miracle that this post I was able to publish.
