Description Conducive To Books The Spectacular Now
This National Book Award Finalist is now a major motion picture -- one of the most buzzed-about films at Sundance 2013, starring Shailene Woodley and Miles Teller.SUTTER KEELY. HE’S the guy you want at your party. He’ll get everyone dancing. He’ ll get everyone in your parents’ pool. Okay, so he’s not exactly a shining academic star. He has no plans for college and will probably end up folding men’s shirts for a living. But there are plenty of ladies in town, and with the help of Dean Martin and Seagram’s V.O., life’s pretty fabuloso, actually.
Until the morning he wakes up on a random front lawn, and he meets Aimee. Aimee’s clueless. Aimee is a social disaster. Aimee needs help, and it’s up to the Sutterman to show Aimee a splendiferous time and then let her go forth and prosper. But Aimee’s not like other girls, and before long he’s in way over his head. For the first time in his life, he has the power to make a difference in someone else’s life—or ruin it forever.

Im not sure if this book would have affected me quite as much if I didnt know this boy. He is one of the people that I love the most on this planet, and he shares more DNA with me than anyone else. Hes intelligent, effortlessly popular, charming, kind, and entertaining. He has a big heart, fragile and exposed. We once spent hours in our backyard collecting slugs and setting them up in their very own tree stump castle. Once when he was facing a spanking, we schemed and plotted, arming ourselvesEvery time I read a book that is popular I almost always end up hating it. What's wrong with me? Or maybe I should as what is wrong with everyone else?! I wanted to read this book before I went to go see the movie, but I only want to go see the movie so I can scope out the acting of the two main characters since they are both casted for Divergent. As soon as I read the first sentence of the book I should have just put the book down and walked away. I did't like the style in which this book was
Wow. I'm not sure how I feel about this book. I'm going to sleep on it. Full review to come!
On finishing The Spectacular Now I feel hollowed out and slightly sick not because the ending was bad but because as much as I didnt want it to, it ended in probably the most realistic way it could. Part of me wants to gouge whatever scraps of hope I can from the close of Sutters story, hold onto the hints that things can and will eventually change, because not doing that hurts so much. I want to pretend that last chapter doesnt exist, but in way, its that last chapter that makes this book what
Everyone knows that if you want a good time, you call Sutter Keely. Hes the guy with a bar in his boot, enough whisky in his flask to go round and he doesnt know the meaning of the word embarrassment. Theres no doubt that Sutter is the life of any party but when it comes to relationships, he fizzes pretty quick. Hes accumulated a string of ex-girlfriends in his eighteen years, and remained friends with every single one of them. But right now hes hoping to hold on to his current girlfriend, the
2.5 Stars-It was a tad too predictable with no real closure to go with.-I don't like Sutter, he's that guy I cannot stand being with morph into that guy I cannot stand believing in.-I don't like Aimee. She is too naive(?) for a 17 year old and simply too dependent on Sutter for everything which is actually worse than the nerd believing in equestrian fantasies before.-The ending ? Was there one ? Sutter's drinking problem (Alcoholism like his isn't some piece of cake to quit). Aimee turning into
Did it have to end like that? :o(
