Noah Can't Even

Product Information

There's also instances of classism, where Noah insults skilled labourers, people receiving benefits, and tattooed people (not that having tattoos gives any indication of your social class, unless you're Katie Hopkins).

I look forward to reading Noah Never Could because even when you think things can't get any worse, they can. o. Noah Grimes, as he rather desperately attempts to find out who he is and where his attractions actually lie. His mother is on the dole and they are usually quite poor, but she earns extra money by performing Beyoncé tribute acts under a stage name. Maar hoe lank dit gaan hou voor Noah op 'n nuwe reis deur die Hel gedwing word, sal ons maar moet sien. This is a fun coming out story with a character so endearing and frustrating you can’t help pulling for him to work it out and be alright.There is also the whole plot with his mum and I will say it was an interesting dynamic that I didn't feel was fleshed out enough. Which I expected because Noah is socially inept, there were moments he would talk like an adult, a very wise one at that, but interacting with people were a no-no.

Devo dire che all'inizio il libro mi aveva preso moltissimo e mi aveva fatto morire dalle risate grazie al protagonista "adorabilmente imbarazzante", però alla lunga la storia è diventata un po' troppo assurda e secondo me troppo piena di eventi (anche se comunque tutto si collega in modo impeccabile). Jest jeszcze po drodze szantażyk, ucieczka Noah z domu i parę innych wydarzeń z potencjalną miłością życia Noahego - Harrym. If Green chose another tack, by taking it all seriously and delving into the characters' psyches in a deeply psychological and literary way, he could have produced a latter-day Werther, or a young gay Levin from Anna Karenina, or some such serious Bildungroman character, without changing any of the events or characters or relationships, but it would then have been a major tome of a book to slog through. Clearly, Noah’s mother, Lisa, makes many bad choices, not the least of which is her Beyoncé tribute act under the nom de theatre of Ruby Devine.When a totally cool, smart and popular girl named Sophie takes Noah and Harry to a party at a well-off girl’s house, Noah sees this as his ticket to normality. All in all, if you like YA with wonderful, funny writing, and are looking for a book that's more about peer pressure and crazy teen family drama, with minimal romance on page, you'll love this.
