Reading Response Numero Dos

Swim The Fly is getting even more ridiculous. In the last segment I read, Matt Gratton and his two friends tried their first attempt at seeing a real live naked girl. Their plan: dress up like girls and sneak into the community center, so they can see Lindsey naked after her karate class; the result: total and complete  failure. The boys had pretty good girl costumes and made it into the community center, but unfortunately, Matt accidentally ate three scoops of laxatives right before he met with his buddies, because he thought it was protein powder, and he had to drop a load right as Lindsey walked into the girl's locker room at the community center. "I lock the door, lift my dress, and step out of my underpants before all is lost. I take a seat on the toilet and release the hell hounds. It's the worst case of the sputters I've ever had."

He flooded the whole bathroom and the gang fled the scene. The picture below shows the amount of water I imagined coming from the toilet.



I knew this book was going to be ridiculous when I started reading it, I mean, it's about prepubescent teenage boys. However, the book is very, very goofy and I think that's making me like it less, which is weird because I am very goofy. I will probably finish reading it, but the humor is getting kind of redundant. My long term prediction is that Matt will get Kelley and they will live happily ever after.

  1. This book does sound goofy. You might consider adding a picture or some visual.

  2. You need to do a better job of providing a visual so I can really understand this book. Honestly, this is just absolutely horrible. You should probably go away; maybe consider switching schools to escape this embarrassment.

  5. I agree with Chloe, but Sydney that was not kind, honest, nor necessary.

  6. This book sounds interesting in a very concerning way, but I like that you made a prediction.

  7. A lot of books have predictable endings. Maybe there will be a plot twist.

  8. You should definitely add a visual. You know better than to "do a delta." Tisk tisk.

  9. I've seen this book done as an HI and I agree it was kind of immature. If you do not like immature jokes it gets boring really fast.

  11. Your picture does a really good job illustrating what happened.
