Struck By Lightning: The Carson Phillips Journal by Chris Colfer
5.0
So, I should say something clever here.
It was very good. Not only the story, but the writing as well, and it's such a pleasure, because that's what you see less often when it comes to good books.
If you think you can read it in two days, think again. It's not easy to stomach the venom it contains. A venom, that's more lethal than acid, wasabi and the strongest chili pepper mixed together. It's not an exaggeration.
A lot of readers find it hard to love Carson. Well, do you really think he should be loved? I think, he only needs to be accepted or understood, but not loved. This character is not about love.
But he can be accepted and understood. If you've ever been bullied, don't tell me you've never felt like Carson.
And also, there are the witty quips that make you laugh out loud.
My favourite part though, was the literary magazine. I'm glad it was included in the book.
And among all the venom and quirky lines, I hope you'll notice the message, that no matter what, just do what you believe in.
