Carter Finally Gets It 6

For this blog, I am going to review the book Carter Finally Gets It. It is a book unlike any other. It has a lot of humor, an interesting story, and great characters. I'm sure anyone could find something to like in this book, especially anyone in highshool. So here is my review.

The first thing you will notice in this book is that it is hilarious. The humor starts from the very beginning and continues throughout the entire book. I have never read a book as funny as this one. It also has a good story. I never lost interest during this book, mostly because the story was so funny. It has a main theme of surviving highschool, so I think anyone can relate to that. Finally the characters are great. Carter is an awkward highschool boy, and it makes the story hilarious. You never really know what kind of trouble he is going to get in next. Overall there wasn't much wrong with this book.

Carter Finally Gets It was an excellent book that I would highly recommend. It has a good story, and characters that are easy to relate to. It is manages to stay funny for the entire book. If you are someone who wants to read a fun book, look no further than Carter Finally Gets It.

Carter Finally Gets It 5

The more that I think about it, the more I realize how unique this book is. Carter finally gets it is unlike any other book I have ever read. Its easy to see that this book was written for teenagers, but as I said earlier, anyone could enjoy it. It is so unique because it stays funny throughout the entire book and it does not try to be like every other book.



A lot of books that I read have a main character who is the star of his sports team. He leads his team to the championship and becomes a hero. In Carter Finally Gets it, Carter is not a hero. In fact he ends up losing a state championship for his team. I think that it was a nice change of pace to read Carter Finally gets it, because it was very unpredictable. It also managed to stay funny throughout the entire book. I think this is the first book where I lauged consistently for the whole book. It was really unique and fun to read. Those were two more reasons why this book is so awesome.



Carter Finally gets it is unlike anybook you have ever read. Carter does not win state for his team, or save the day, he doesn't go on a huge adventure or discover something new, he just lives through highschool, and it is hilarious. I didn't know what to expect when I first started reading this book, but I am glad that I did. The whole book was fresh and it is going to be hard for other books to compete with this book in humor.

Carter Finally Gets It 4

For this blog, I am going to talk about the things I didn't like in the book. I liked almost everything in this book, however there were a few things that bugged me in Carter Finally gets it. First of all, it seems like nothing good happens to Carter. I also didn't like how the book ended. Those are just two small complaints in an overall great book.

Almost nothing goes right for Carter in this book. Every time where it seems like Carter is going to succeed, he somehow fails. I thought that is was funny at first, but by the end of the book I found myself wishing for Carter to win at something. For example, Carter gets moved up to the varsity swim team. I thought that this was going to be really good for Carter and that he would be the hero at state, but no. Carter false starts and gets his entire team disqualified. I aslo didn't like the end of the book. It ended as kind of a cliff hanger. Either Carter ended up with Abby and they had a great time at a party, or he messed up and they didn't get to ever go to the party. I would have liked to know what happended instead of having to imagine which one actually happended.

Those were just two small complaints about the book. They didn't stop me from liking the book. I would still reccomend this book to anyone. Those are basically the only two things I didn't like about this book. It was funny, and had a good pace, and only two very small problems.

Carter Finally Gets It 3

I would reccomend this book to everyone to read, because I think that anyone could find something to like in this book. I think that it would be funny for even adults, because it would bring back memories from their highschool experiance. For me, it was really fun to read.

I think that even adults would like this book. Carter does a lot of things that almost anyone could relate to. I think a lot of people are like Carter, and tried out for a sport at their highschool. But Carter didn't only play sports. Another way people can relate to Carter is with having trouble in school sometimes. Everyone spaces out in class every now and then, probably not as much as Carter though. Carter also did a school play. He had so much variety in his freshmen year that I think anyone could find something similar to Carter.

That is why I think this book is so good. It had a lot of variety and it didn't focus on only one aspect of highschool. There was school, sports, plays, parties and much more. It was funny throughout the entire book as well. I can't see anyone not liking this book, unless they have no sense of humor at all.

Carter Finally Gets It 2

In Carter finally gets it, the main character Carter goes through a lot of the same problem other high school boys go through. I think that he is really easy to relate to. Throughout the book, Carter has a lot of different problems with school, sports, and girls. Sometimes its painful to keep reading, because everything is going wrong for Carter, but it's so funny that you have to keep reading. Those are two reasons why I liked reading this book so much.

I think that any high school boy could relate to Carter in some way. For example, Carter plays a lot of sports which is something I can relate to. Just like Carter, there are some days where I can not stand going to practice, but still go. Carter also experiances some of the harder things of playing sports, like getting cut from a team all of your friends made. This has also happened to me, but like Carter, I found something else to do, and had a lot of fun with it. Another thing I think boys could relate to Carter with is talking to the girl they like. Sometimes it can be hard to start a conversation with the girl you like. In the book, it is funny, because Carter starts to stutter whenever he talks to girls. That was a big reason why I liked this book, because Carter is so easy to relate to.

I really enjoyed reading Carter, and there wasn't very many moments in the book where I didn't like what was happening. Everything moved quickly, and everything was really funny. I think the author really understood the humor of high schoolers. I hope that I can find other books by this author becuase I enjoyed Carter finally gets it so much. I hope that I can convince others to read this book too.

Carter finally gets it

Carter finally gets it is probably one of the funniest books I have ever read. I'm not very far into the book yet, but I have loved every part of it so far. It seems like nothing can go right for Carter, but it still stays unpredictable. It is hard for me to stop reading this book because it is so funny, and I really like the story.

I would definetley reccomend this book to anyone. I think that anyone could find some humor in this book, even if you're not a teen. I can kind of relate to this book, because Carter is just starting high school, which was the same for me this year. Carter's perspective on things is always hirlarious. You almost have to feel bad for Carter because it seems like nothing can go right for him, but its too funny not to laugh at Carter's expense. This is one of very few books that has made me want to quit doing other activities in order to keep reading.

Carter finally gets it is insanely funny, and one of the best books I have ever read. I think that every teenager could relate to Carter in some way, and that everyone could find something they like about this book. I would highly reccomend this book.

Monster 5

Now that I have finished monster, I have had some time to think about it. I have thought more about the story and the characters. I still really like the book, and I would still reccomend it. I have had more time to think about they way the story was told, and I think that it was really cool.
Having the story told like a movie showed a lot of things that you wouldn't see in a normal book. Because its a script, you don't see what the main character is thinking at all times. You also don't have a narrator, so its totally different than any other book. I really enjoyed this part of the book, and it is one of the main reasons why I would reccomend this book. In my opinion, it made it a lot easier to read. I also liked how the story was about a teenager, because I thought it was easy to relate to the main character. In the story, Steve was under peer pressusre to help with a robbery, and he was intimidated by the older kids in his neighborhood. I know what its like to be in peer pressure, and I also know how it feels to be bossed around by older people. Those are the main reasons why I really liked this book.
There weren't many things I didn't like about this book. It wasn't like anything I had ever read, and I liked how everything was new to me. I would tell anyone who wanted to read a good book about Monster. Its easy to read, has a good story, and is unique. What's not to love?
