Recently, I've started this book called Close to famous. It's about a girl named Foster (who is the narrator) and she has a dream about being a famous cook and having her own cooking show. Her dream is inspired by her cooking idol, Sonny Kroll. While she is still learning everything, she feels like she should do what she does best, bake. The story starts off with Foster and her mother driving away to anywhere but where they are because they are being chased by an Elvis impersonator... I know its really weird and I do not understand the it at all.
This happens to me a lot, and when I say that i'm referring to the fact that I don't understand novels at all when I first start them. I have to get in the groove of it and learn all the characters names and how they are all related and I have to understand the basic plot and setting. If I miss something, I feel totally and completely lost and confused! So obviously i'm saying that I don't understand this novel all that much right now... And I actually might not really like it that much. But I am going to keep reading and If I find that I am uninterested, I will just keep going with the Hunger Games because that is a novel I would really like to finish before the movie comes out! I'm challenging myself because that is only in 2 weeks! I think once I get into Close to Famous a little more I will begin to start liking it.
Reading log: Close to Famous: 51 pages-150 minutes
Hey Emily! This is a really good post. I feel the same way, sometimes I get so confused that I end up reading the page over and over again. But once I do I end up better understnding the book. Also as far as cooking, girl I can make a mean bowl of pasta! lol you should try it. But any ways like I said good post, and be careful with your wording. Make sure you reread over your posts again to check for it. Love ya -Rika
ReplyDeleteThe same thing happens to me with most books! I don't understand the characters or the book until halfway through. If it gets too confusing, you probably should stop reading. Don't give up on it yet though!
