review 1: Before I read the book I had already watched the movie, which I quite enjoyed. Now looking back I think I enjoyed the book more than the movie. I loved the author's humor and sarcastic bite. I think the main character, Carson was very real. Even though he wasn't very nice to people at first, I was able to understand where he was coming from and able to connect with him. It's hard to decide whether you like him or not just because he can be so self-absorbed, but in the end he realizes that other people have struggles too. I wouldn't recommend this book to everyone, just because of the mild swearing, but I think most people would this book.
review 2: Struck By Lightning By Chris ColferReview by Rama Awad High school senior Carson Phillips Chris Colfer is randoml... morey struck and killed by lightning and the rest of the movie is a flashback of his life. He desires to go to Northwestern University in order to one day become the youngest editor for The New Yorker, but so far is having limited success in making those dreams happen. During a meeting with the other students and Coach Walker, Carson extorts agreements that everyone must offer something to put in the magazine if they want their secrets to stay quiet. Carson also tells Claire and Coach Walker that they must have each cheerleader and football player submit something as well, as a way to make the issue more popular among the student body. After school, Carson gets an unexpected call from his father. Neal tells him about April, the baby, and how he wants them to get together soon. When he has dinner with Neal and April, Carson realizes that his father is trying to make himself sound like he has been more present in Carson's life, which quickly results into an argument and Carson storming out. Later, during a student council meeting with the principal, Carson opposes a ban on clothing logos in school. As punishment, the principal revokes all off-campus privileges for students. The film had its world premiere at the 2012 Tribeca Film Festival on April 21, 2012. The film is now available on Demand and was released theatrically on January 11, 2013. [source Wikipedia] less
