Noah Can't Even

Product Information

Is he gay, who is his mom dating, is his dad really dead, will he pay blackmailers, why is he popular all of a sudden, and shouldn’t he try kissing a girl?

When it turned out that being a lawyer was nothing like how it looks in Suits or The Good Wife, and buoyed by the success of his late night comedy show that involved an inflatable sheep, he travelled to London to pursue a glamorous career in show business. This is a fun coming out story with a character so endearing and frustrating you can’t help pulling for him to work it out and be alright.Anche il comportamento di Noah mi è sembrato un po' ripetitivo e ridondante e alla lunga mi ha stancato. From the blurb, I thought she would be the type of embarrassing that most teens think they're parents are, not actually awful. But Noah is also an innocent on the level of Voltaire’s Candide (without, however, being an optimist – Noah is painfully cynical because of the crap hand he feels he’s been dealt). i really hoped it was a good book, and i'll be honest, there are some parts that i enjoyed/liked BUT the thing is: it's not bad because of how cringe it is, it's just bad. Maar hoe lank dit gaan hou voor Noah op 'n nuwe reis deur die Hel gedwing word, sal ons maar moet sien.

His dad disappeared years ago, his mother's Beyonce tribute act is an unacceptable embarrassment, and his beloved gran isn't herself anymore. Noah thinks he likes a girl, though his sexual development has been a bit slow on the uptake (he's 15).But somehow Green has produced something that slipped past the ingrained homophobia of our popular culture censors.

I'd definitely recommend this book to anyone who was a fan of Nash Summers' " Life According to Maps" series. In the modern sense, the hell that Noah lives through provides a strong number of laughs per page for the reader. There's also the problem of his mother, who's played for laughs as embarrassing and making life difficult, when actually she's abusive and neglectful. With an absentee father, a pain-in-the-arse mother, a badass gran, and the most wonderful best-mate a boy could hope for, Noah Grimes really has A LOT to deal with. One of my favourites of the year so far (definitely my favourite YA of the year) and I will be heartbroken if we never hear from Noah again.Matka wiąże się z 19-latkiem, który chodzi z Noah do szkoły, i który okazuje się ojcem dziecka dziewczyny, któa chciała zgwałcić Noah. Noah Can’t Even was Longlisted for the Branford Boase Award, won the Wirral Paperback of the Year, was shortlisted for the Leeds Book Awards and got Bronze in the Amazing Book Awards! I'm not even sure if I really liked this book because I can't decide if it was meant to be funny or whether it was bad. It reads like Diary of a Wimpy Kid or Horrid Henry, but with so many sexual innuendos to the point that they're not even sexual innuendos and are just made to be. There are some really touching moments too, with regard to conversations about sexuality and standing up for yourself.

It's a quick read because he manipulates chapter endings cleverly - you cannot not go on to the next chapter. The Bookseller ‘Slapstick but wonderfully funny’ Jewish Chronicle ‘A debut I very much loved’ Juno Dawson, author of The Gender Games and role model for Stonewall UK ‘Sweet, barmy, charming, unexpectedly romantic delight of a YA novel. And while I got a vague sense of Harry, he wasn't really on page enough for the attraction to feel completely, unquestionably real. Jdnocześnie ten sam Noah, który wielokrotnie ma problem z wypowiedzeniem słowa "seks", nie ma problemu z przechwalaniem się w szkole, że przespał się z dziewczyną i punktowym ocenianiem jej zachowania w łóżku, choć to kłamstwo! Dit sluit in dat hy 'n meisie ontmoet in wie hy geïnteresseerd is, net om te hoor hoe sy beste vriend vir hom sê dat hy gay is én verlief op Noah.Sophie was kind of irrelevant, sure she proves a good friend but seriously y'all hardly know each other. Which I expected because Noah is socially inept, there were moments he would talk like an adult, a very wise one at that, but interacting with people were a no-no. He is bullied and ignored, and shelters his soul within elaborate game-playing scenarios with Harry. Tak, zdaję sobie sprawę, że w realnym życiu często tak właśnie jest, ale to nie znaczy, że mamy to przyjmować jako coś oczywistego i pokazywać nastolatkom, że takie zachowanie jest normalne i akceptowalne.
