Shit, for ei bok!

[Marie the Librarian · Rating 3 out of 5]

Well that was an depressing end. But I think this is an important book for young boys. It was hard to relate to..

[Simone · Rating 2 out of 5]

I was introduced to this book via a school assignment. It takes up serious problems teenagers face daily. The need to be 'cool', and the dependency on getting lots of likes and notifications on social media, in this case, Instagram. And how body pressure is also a struggle for boys, and that this obsession to look good can lead to training drugs, such as steroids.

We follow the protagonist, Torstein, who has it all. He has the body, the girlfriend, and the popularity. But he wants more, he wants to become the 'alfa male', and this does not come without some consequences.

This is not a book I'd read for pure enjoyment, but for opening my eyes and gaining information about some of the troubles boys, and girls, go through in the modern world.

Spennende bok, og absolutt noe gutter kan lese. Handler om Torstein som ender opp med å ta feil valg når alt handler om utseende og muskler og å få flest likes på sosiale medier.

Denne historien var jo bare helt sjuk!
Det var vanskelig å legge fra seg denne boka rett og slett.
En bok mange ungdommer burde lese!
