Paranoid Park

Paranoid Park is written by Blake Nelson who lives in Los Angeles. The book was published by Puffin and released in February 2008.

The book is about a boy, we don’t know the name because it’s a narrator, who loves to skate and so onetime his best friend Jared take him to a skate park called “Paranoid Park”. At this place only the best skaters of Portland and ambit skate. Shortly before the narrator and Jared wanted to go to Paranoid Park Jared cancelled the arrangement. Although the narrator has doubts if he should goes alone him he goes. There he meets some street kids and with one of them he goes train hoping and there the terrible thing happens. After this happening the narrator’s life change completely.

The main character the narrator is a typical 16 years old boy. He is a skater and so he loves to skate, hang out with friends and relax. It’s very difficult to say something about his character because in this book we just see one side of his character. So in the book he is a very uncommunicative guy who always wants to saves his problems by himself and so he gets just into more problems. One reason why he is so uncommunicative is maybe because his parents will be divorced so he couldn’t tell them because the have enough problems.

The book is written like a letter in which he tells the only person he really trusts every thing that happened and how he feels about that all. I think it’s a perfect book for young adults because it contains a lot of topics we are interested in.

I don’t know if this book has a message but maybe it should show as that it is sometime better to talk than to keep it in private.

For me this is a very good book. I like the topics in this book maybe this is because I’m a girl and so I automatically I like every thing that is dramatically or that contains with feelings.
So I give this book the rate 9.
