Alright guys I'm a little behind on my posts! So I'm going to catch up. Recently I finished The Spectacular Now by Tim Tharp. This book was really great! If you don't mind the language or the constant teenaged drinking and shenanigans. . . this book is for you! It is written from the perspective of a teenaged alcoholic named Sutter Keeley. Having lived an unhappy childhood, Sutter turns to alcohol for the comfort he is seeking. During a drunken episode he stumbles upon Amy, a shy girl in his class. Now before you think of this as another Fault in Our Stars, its not really that romantic. Since it is told from Sutter's P.O.V. , the romance aspect is lacking. He has a lively sense of humor mixed with an pessimistic outlook on life. He's such an interesting character and Tharp does an excellent job of making him painfully realistic and honest. Its almost refreshing to read! Anyways, this book is not very long, and has recently been made into a film! (Which I have yet to see)
Check it out!
Enjoy!
