Jimmy is FAT. Not only does his doctor tell him that he will be fat forever, but he has to deal with the horribly nasty comments of his fellow students, and the torment of being the worst at everything in gym class. Nightmare your name is the climbing rope! He is not just fat, but unhealthy and unpopular. With the murder of two girls near his home as a background, Jimmy tells his story through a series of journal entries as part of a school assignment. We get to meet the cast of characters who make up his world. Jimmy introduces us to a girl who cuts herself, another fat kid who has a heart attack, a friend who wants to figure out the murders, and a series of adults who don’t do much to make things better for anyone.
This book is based on true events and is an realistic look at what it means to be overweight in the U.S. I like to honest voice of Jimmy, and the accurate way that the authors depicts interaction between teens. There is no 90210 glamour or fake dialog. This is an honest book. I can’t wait for the movie to be out.

ReplyDeleteYou should be careful when you get ebooks online. You may think you’re getting it from a good source but you might be stealing it. Some books are free online but most require you to pay. I have been to the author’s webpage and there is no free download. You should use your library card to see if there is a downloadable copy you can check out from your library. If not you may need to go to the library to check out a print copy
