Book review:
Paranoid Park:

Paranoid Park is a young adult novel, which was written by Blake Nelson, he is an American author, who lives and works in Los Angeles. Paranoid Park is published by Penguin Group. Since November 07 exist a film version, which was directed by Gus Van Sant.

Now I want to write a little bit about the story, not too much because I want you to read it, too.
First I want to explain you the title, Paranoid Park is the biggest and best skater park in Portland. In the narrators opinion it’s a skater’s universe. The story takes place in Portland.
The narrator, whose name isn’t given, has several problems and the biggest one is that he was involved in a fight with fatal consequences. In the book he tries to solve this main problem, but that’s not so easy and he doesn’t know what to do. He has so many options, but it’s difficult to figure out which is right.
In the end of the story a friend suggest to write down his problem, because she thinks it’s easier to let it behind and that’s the reason why the book is constructed like a letter.
The main character is the narrator, who is a skater but we don’t know much about him. He has a little brother, Henry. His parents are getting divorced at the moment. The other important characters in the book are his best friend Jared, also a skater, other friends, who are skaters, too, scratch a guy from the street, which he met at Paranoid and there’s Jennifer his girlfriend.
In my opinion Blake Nelson wrote this book in a youth-style, and I think that’s very good because that makes the book special.

It was one of the first books in school, which was thrilling for me and I could read it fluently and I have to say that the novel is much better than the movie.
I hope the next English books are as good as this one.
I give it 7 of 10 points.
