Connector                                                                                                                          I connect the whole book with the everyday life. He is an unlucky teenager who suffers from actual problems such us parents divorce, dificulties on studies, been influenced by gangs..etc.                                                                                               

My favourite parts of the book are:                                                                           "Last night I made a model aeroplane and decided to try an experimental sniff of lue but my nose stuck to the plane. My father took me to hospital to have the plane removed. Today my nose is swollen and really hurts...I phoned the hospital and a nurse said*Perhaps it will teach you not to sniff glue again*".                                   

"I´m now minus a front tooth! The stupid dentist took it out instead of repairing it. He even put it in a peace of paper and gave it to me to take home. He told me he had often seen me walking home from school eating a Mars bar, and it would be my own fault is i had no teeth at 30".   

Although Adrian has a very sad life, the book is really enjoyable and entertaining. That´s why i have chosen these parragraphs. He was really unlucky that apart from having family problems, he also had health problems like his teeth pain. I loved these parragraphs,they made me continue reading the book.

 I recommend it to everyone!
