Initial Response
Huh. That was kinda strange.
High Lights
- It's a graphic novel, which, I LOOOOOVE graphic novels. The illustrations were fantabulous and really got the point across.
- In a way, it's a little nostalgic. I read it when I was younger (don't know if I should've, but I'll get to that later), and it's a camp story, which always makes me nostalgic for some unknown reason. (I've only been to camp like twice in my life. XD)
- I love the idea of someone being struck by lightning. It was a really cool idea to explore, but I wish it would've been more centered on that.
- Most of the situations were quite relatable. It was a very relatable type of book.
Low Lights
- Okay, so I read this when I was younger, but reading it again now, I just really don't know if I should've. XD
- There was a lot of unexpected swearing, which really caught me off guard the second time around. I found this book in my library's juvenile section, but I don't think that's where it should belong.
- I didn't like the theme of the story. All the kids are just so immature, it's frustrating. It was really hard for me to relate in that way, growing up conservative or whatever, but I didn't agree with the decisions of most of the characters.
Conclusion
This was a cute, quick read. The characters were funny and relatable, and the story had a really cool premise. I'm just not sure how I felt about the theme and I didn't like the swearing. I wouldn't recommend to juveniles, that's for certain.
