Student Book Review: Half my Facebook Friends are Ferrets

 

This book by J.A. Buckle is great, and I would say it is aimed at teenagers. The language in this book would not please adults, in the sense that it is generally language that teenagers use.

This book is about a boy called ‘Josh Walker’, a wannabe metal-head and this is his diary. He calls himself Josh the Destroyer and he has ‘rock n roll’ dreams; but his Mum won't let him grow his hair long, all his friends are nerds or geeks and he has received 0 Valentine’s Day cards. He has five main goals to do before his 16th birthday:

•To kiss a girl who is not family or a close friend
•To own the best guitar, the Jackson with blue ghost flames
•To be half as cool as people say his Dad was
•Master ‘One’ by the legendary Metallica
•Get something pierced or tattooed

I suggest this book to anyone who falls in the 12-13/13-14 age group. READ IT NOW!
