Happy Ever After

I finished the book now nearly a week ago, and it´s time to recapitulate what I think of the book and how it changed my mind (or even if it changed it ...)

After re-reading the beginning of your log: Are your first impressions given new meaning now?

No, not really. My feelings haven´t changed, I still think, "Slam" is a great book. My future predictions were quite misdirected. Of course, Alicia and Sam became a couple but I didn´t think of pregnancy at all.

What did you learn that you never knew before?

I learned how to change a nappy. :P
Okay that was a joke. Earnestly now:
Well, I learned something about skating. Not much but at least a little bit. I also learned about the feelings a boy could have when his girlfriend conceives. But I don´t know if Sam´s feelings are realistic. I hope so.

How have you changed after reading the book?

I´m still the same person before reading the book. Honestly, I´ve already read books about pregnancy of teenagers and they were more realistic and impressive than "Slam". "Slam" is a good lecture if you start thinking about that topic, and it´s a great written book, really, but to change my mind there needs to be more.

Who would you like to recommend the book to?

All teenagers in our age. I think to read a book like this shows it better with what consequences you have to live with when you get a child as teenager than prevention programs in school. It´s also made for people in our age because of the style of writing. It´s clear, direct and just like any normal teenager would think and speak.

Who should not read the book? Why not?

I don´t know. I think it´s a good book for everyone, except for people who don´t tolerate sex before mariage because they just would critisize the book and don´t think about what it wants to say.
