Diverticulosis In Gay Men

[I've read a bit ', to tell the truth, but I found time to talk about it just now.]
Do not Throw Down is a book that, sooner or later, will give a second chance. Probably in those days. Of course I read it in a period not very happy, but I did not find that book in the verve, that mood a bit 'irreverent and cynical that had characterized the previous stories of Hornby and that I had made love to the madness. It 'like a book but to all those who read it, unlike How to become good instead I find beautiful. I'll be curious myself. That said, having read the previous, highly enjoyable, One Life to player I threw myself on the new novel. Although it has found it quite pleasant, I was not convinced at all. Most likely this is due to the fact that all missing the point of view adult. The protagonist and narrator is a sixteen year old and this is even more evident in the writing of Hornby, even more simplified and dry. The story itself is nothing special: a sixteen year old, Sam, skateboard enthusiast, puts pregnant by mistake, one her friend, Alicia. But while the latter shows a certain maturity in dealing with the matter, Sam falls in total panic, feeling the victim of a sort of curse family, since even his mother became pregnant at her age. Thus begins a troubled period in which Sam must become aware of the new situation, to clarify his feelings for Alicia, trying to prepare to play the father in the best way possible for a sixteen year old is able to do. Clear that it will not be easy. Sam will make clear that the choices along the way, discutibilissime and make you want to slap. In this, Hornby, hits the mark. The one where it fails is it that this is actually more a book for teenagers, or so, though without pretensions pedagogy / education, and an adult will find us very little attractive. Sam, however, a feature that I personally did a little 'tenderness. Sam has a hero: Tony Hawk. For many of my age, Tony Hawk is like a former model. Many, including myself, have lived through the '80s and skateboarding at the time, good or evil was practiced by a lot of guys. Tony was an idol, who was one of those things with the board that you crave. He spent his time watching movies as California Skate or Thrashin'-race massacre, then trying to imitate the tricks of the protagonists. Good memories, eh. However, I said: Tony Sam considers a hero, and has a poster in your room. Everything is normal up to here, if not the fact that Sam, with posters and talks. And the poster, or Tony, Do you replied. How do you respond? Well, the answers are more similar to those of an oracle rather than those of an adult should be interpreted. And Sam does everything to interpret, sometimes as he is more comfortable, and sometimes gets angry simply because the poster does not understand what that means. These responses, of course, that Sam built himself in the mind, are actually sentences taken weighing Hawk: Occupation Skateboarder a book that the same Tony wrote and that Sam has read several times, becoming a major source of lessons life. The absurd, when Tony Hawk "answers" to questions is, of course, the rule and it's fun to see how Sam interprets the answers and act accordingly. Even more fun when you can not find a way to answer. This is the main factor that makes it enjoyable for a girl anyway. Apart from this, however, I doubt I'll find myself in the future to read it again. And it is a good deal 'that I can not find a book that I know will take up in their hands in the future.
