FinishedFace

Hey peeps, and when I say "peeps" I mean Brian and Michelle since they are the only ones that probably give my shamazing blog the time of day, seriously. Anyway anyone who doesn't read this, it's your loss. Well by the title I bet you know what that means, I finished Happyface!!! I started it on Thursday night but didn't read much of it like only a few pages, then Friday I picked it up and finished it. Booyah. It was an awesome book, I really loved how the printing did look like a persons handwriting. I really enjoyed the pictures too, it was nice to have something to entertain the eye for once, who says your ever too old for picture books? You know whats weird? Happyface kinda reminded me of Charlie, you know from the book The Perks of Being a Wallflower. He reminded me of Charlie because their stories are so similar! They are seriously REALLY similar in some parts, have you noticed? For example: They were both pretty much nobodies, Happyface had a new start when he moved and changed schools, Charlie's changed when the new school year started. They both got a new group of friends, and they each had a girl in that group who they were totally infatuated with, but could never have. They both screwed up majorly at some point and temporarily lost all their friends and they both were all depressed about it. But they both found a way to fix it somehow, see how similar they are? Those are the few things that really popped into my mind when I was thinking about it, but throughout the entire book starting when Happyface moved I kept thinking of Charlie when I was reading. Oh another similarity they have, but not all of you can see it cause this is my opinion, they both found a way to peeve me to now friggin' end! Charlie was a crybaby, and Happyface was the town stalker, I mean come on who does that?! From the very moment he started school he stalked Grechen, if I was her I would not be friends with him, I would tell him to shove it up his ass and rotate. I'm serious, if I found out he stayed on the wrong bus to sit and stare at me and draw me, i'd be creeped the hell out like for real man! He deserves that newspaper title, The Kid in The Corner May Be Drawing You ,indeed he might. He might also be planning on ways to stalk the rest of your life. I got confused when I first found out his brother had died being drunk and driving with Chloe by the way, the girl Happyface was totally in love with, I know right that's what I said! If your confused read the book. Alright i'm done with this blog. WAIT!!! My bestfriend/sister Hana has a blog now, her name is "the green princess" I showed her how to do it and now she wants to to it. I'm such a good influence. She's over at my house right now, we were blogging together, but now we got things to do, people to see. PEACE OUT!!!

  1. I love reading your blog! I have checked a few times this weekend already to see if you posted anything for me to read!! I was very excited to see that you posted something this morning.

    All of the connections you made between Charlie and Happy Face are FANTASTIC!! (Yes I said fantastic on purpose because I knew you’d appreciate it- or laugh at me as usual!!) I think there a lot of connections between teen novels. I find that sometimes I need to stop and take a break and read something else. Last summer I read almost every single Nicholas Sparks book and now I am so sick of him I don’t think I’ll read another one for a long time! I have this habit of reading every book by an author or in the same subject and them moving on to something completely different.
    After I find a book that I like I usually go to Barnes and Noble’s or Amazon’s website and see what other people who enjoyed that book are reading. Have you ever done that?? Remind me tomorrow for this list of books someone gave me so you can pick out some that you might be interested in.

    Also- I just posted my reaction to Happyface if you are interested!
