Assess Regarding Books Slam

I had such high hopes for this book, I really did. Everything else I've read by Nick Hornby has been stellar (About a Boy, High Fidelity, and Juliet, Naked). But this one, well, like the title suggests, fell flat.The problems with the story start right at the beginning. When establishing the necessary "quirky" trait of the main character, instead of being obsessed with music or just insanely shallow (like the characters in his best work), the main character talks to his Tony Hawk poster. He has

There was a character in this book called "Rubbish", which would have been an apt title for the whole mess.

Re: SlamTo: Nick HornbyFrom: Bonnie LumleySent: September 30, 2009Hi Nick, Glad to hear youre back to writing adult fiction now; I hate to say it, but I dont think writing young-adult fiction is your strength. Slam was a worthwhile experiment; but youve done better, and maybe could have done better here. Maybe if youd written it from the POV of Sams mum instead of 16-year-old Sam, youd have been able to offer your readers a more pleasing, polished novel. No offence, but it seemed to me as if you

Sam is a skater. Not a roller skater, but a skateboarder. He loves Tony Hawk and working out new skateboard tricks. He also loves his mum, even though she's young enough to be an older sister. But everything changes when his ex-girlfriend delivers the news: she's pregnant.Now that he faces fatherhood as a very young man, Sam must make adult-sized choices. He's determined to do the right thing. His father didn't, and he's grown up seeing how it has affected his mother. But sometimes doing the

Slam looked to be a solid 4-star rating book, until I completed two-thirds of it and started wondering as to why it was not ending. The last one-third of the story was a complete drag, written more with the idea to achieve a certain number of pages than to add anything interesting to the story. As far as the first two-thirds of the book goes, it was great fun to read about this 16-year old London lad who is coming to terms with his new relationship and the complication it provides. Nick Hornby

This book is incredibly bad. It's a giant cliché, it has unlikable characters and it just seems rushed, some parts are way too short and are just like "and by the way that is also a thing that happens" (not that I wanted it to be longer). But other parts could just have been left out completely, they don't contribute anything to the "plot". And the main character is just obsessed with Tony Hawk, it makes the main character look even more stupid than he already is when he quotes out of THs book

This book is very interesting becuase it almost connects to a real life situation that happening between you and the book itself. This book mostly talks about relationships problems. For example Sam and Alicia were facing some problems at the end of the book because Sam was relizing that he didnt know what got into him so was facing some tough times. But at the end he fixed their problem and they both contined their lifes together.
