I am currently reading "In The Bag" by Kate Klise. It's an extremely cliché book about a girl named Coco Sprinkle (whose mother is a famous chef) and a boy named Webb Nelson. The two are strangers, each with single parents. Their bags get mixed up on a flight to paris, and they are each stuck with each other's luggage. However, Coco has her email on the side of her duffel, and so Webb emails her about the mix-up. The two email back and forth, arrange to meet up, and end up falling in love.
I do not love this book. I don't like clichés- I rolled my eyes when Coco and Webb kissed. I can already guess how the ending will turn out, all sappy, happy, mushy, and unrealistic. In my opinion, two people can not fall in major, head-over-heels love with someone over a few emails. I mean, what if Webb had been some gross, creepy old man stalking young girls?? Coco was extremely stupid to plan a meet-up with him. But NO, she stepped off the train and there he was, attractive and blonde and "puppy dog adorable," looking nervous and excited to meet her. And then they kissed, two complete strangers on a train platform. THEY FELL MADLY IN LOVE OVER FOUR OR SO EMAILS. THIS IS NOT LOGICAL. THIS IS NOT LITERATURE. THEY USE THE WORDS "LIKE" AND "ACTUALLY" TOO MUCH. THEY SAY "OMG." THEY HAVE SILLY NAMES.
I apologize for those who have read and enjoy this book. I'm sorry. I truly am. I am having a bad day, and nothing upsets me like a poorly-writren book.
Wow, this book seems really dumb! Do you think that their are any good parts in the book and if yes are they as cliche as the bad ones? GREAT BACKGROUND #############

There are probably some OKAY parts, and they probably are cliché, but I haven't found them yet!!!

DeleteAmelia, your posts are fine. But I really think you have the potential to say much much more about your reading. Try to go deeper. Look at some classmates' amazing blogs for inspiration!
ReplyDeleteThanks! Yes, I am aware I could look deeper into my books. I will try to work harder on posting on deeper topics. :)
