review 1: James is smart. But he isn’t sporty or popular or even noticed at his school. When he is given the opportunity to go to an exclusive school for gifted students, he decides to ‘become’ someone else.The new James is a rebel, pulling pranks with his new mates ‘Heinous’ and ‘Dickie’. But when he shows off one too many times and ends up in hospital, his friends and teachers begin to worry about him. In the struggle to ‘become’ someone, he loses himself. Only someone else going through the same struggle helps him find himself again.
review 2: I chose this book because a family friend wrote it. James was someone that no one noticed. Then he moves to ASMA ( American Science and Mathematics Academy) and has a chance to reinvent himself as a rebel, punk... more, and a fighter. This seems to impress everyone but Ellie Frost and Ghost44. Soon his dreams start to bleed out into his life and the story he has built comes at a price. my favorite quote is “In order to know that you're dead, you have to be conscious. . . but if you're conscious, then you're not dead. the only thing you can know is being alive, so that's eternity.” I love this quote because it makes me wonder about death and living forever as the quote explains. I like Todd Mitchell's writing style. I loved reading the conversations between Ghost44 and Johnnyrotten. I would recommend this book if you would like to explore some of the controversial parts of being a teenager. Or if you are struggling with finding your true self. less
