This week I've been reading a very long book which is based on friendship, commitment, work, lust and loyalty where everything comes under the spotlight as the main characters; Matt, Helen (H), Stringer, and Susie. I'm pretty sure that there is a movie made about this book because the writing is quite deep and extended- usually in movies we hear a lot of drama going on and the narrator just keeps talking and talking forever. If I hadn't skimmed through some bits, I would have found this book really tedious. Obviously, I couldn't read the WHOLE book in just a week, so I decided to read the first 50 pages, as always. In the beginning it talks a lot about friendship. The first sentence is: 'Don't have any friends.' I was quite shocked at first, I'm sure you are too now that I told you. Don't have any friends? What is that supposed to mean? Usually I rely on my friends because they help me a lot in difficult situations and give me advice. At first sight, I thought the bad guy in the book was saying this- but then I figured it was the narrator. I think this is just some kind of creative way to start off a book. However, there is also a bad thing located deep inside a friend, that we usually don't think about when we hang out with friends. The book explains that you shouldn't have any friends because they may disobey you, lie to you, or even gossip about you. That's what part of this part is about. Next, there's loyalty- which ties up to friendship. If your friend isn't loyal to you, you may lose your trust in them and go bonkers because they did something you wouldn't have liked them to do. As you can see, the first 50 pages doesn't talk much about stuff. I would reccommend for girls at the age 13-20 to read. Notice that it talks a lot about marriage in the middle/ending, so if some girls aren't interested in that, then I wouldn't recommend this book.
