The final final final post is awesome

Now we finally have read the whole book. From the beginning to the end both Matt and Ursula have changed. And it's all because the bomb-rumour. Ursula get more self-confident, and goes from "ugly girl" to Ursula.  Matt then, he gets smarter, and don't laugh before he really understand why. The book ends with a kiss...

This was the last post on this blogg. Don't cry too much  we'll be back ;)

Book talk 3

I think the words and sentences are good written since the actual text isn´t supposed to contain “slang words”. That would make the impression wrong. You wouldn’t want to read a whole book with only slang words. But when they talk or in the emails it can be more “talk-language”, there is a difference because usually when you talk you doesn´t say the words correct or use real words. Therefor there is “text-language” and “talk-language”. I think the author have written a good text with the different sorts of text and the emails is really good, just like teenagers write to each other today. I agree with Frida about that Matt writes a little bit more properly than Ursula. I think that the text is pretty easy but there are some different words.

The most memorable scene for me is the first one when the detectives pick Matt up. I think it was very good since it caught my attention, made me want to read more, and really started the story well.

The Sequel

It takes a little time but it getts better. Ursula speakes with the principal about the bombthreatening and Matt is realesed. But then another problem starts. When Matt gets back to school everybody is kind of ignoring him, even Ursula.

Ursula is ignoring Matt because she´s not sure how to handle things with him, she´s even having little bit of strange feeling about Matt that she can´t locate.

Matt is letting go of a lot of things. His friends, being VP in the junior class, writing for the newspaper etc. He´s becoming tuffer. And he likes it.

I think there is a hidden message in the text. That you should think about who your real friends are. In Matts case his none of "friends" were actually there for him.

First part in Big Mouth & Ugly Girl

The book begins very suddenly when two men pick Matt up during school. I think it´s a good opening because it makes you intrested when something happens directly. I expected that something bad was going to happen to Matt, and that Ursula and Matt would be brought together somehow. I think it´s realistic that something like this could happen, even in Sweden, only not so extrem.

Matt is a big mouth. He easily makes people laugh, and sometimes he says stuff whitout thinking. He´s popular and a very good writer.

Ursula is a big girl, very athletic and strong. She plays for the school basketball team, and doesn´t care about "girlstuff". She doesn´t have many friens and don´t care what people say about her. She calls herself ugly girl.

The chapters switch from being about Matt to Ursula and back again. When it´s about Ursula it´s in a "me/I" perspective, and when it´s about Matt it´s "he", he´s not telling the story himself. It´s more realistic in "me/I" perspectiv, but there can only be one "me/I", or else you can´t see the difference between the chapters.
