A little background on the story from what i read so far is about the story of a boy who doesn't fit-in anywhere and so he can't be himself because he thinks that being everything he's not will somehow makes things better.

The setting is a school environment. For example, hallways, lunchroom, classrooms.

I chose this book because in a way I was attached to the book the title just made me want to read it. I took a glimpse of the first page and fell in love. From what i read so far the story was great and showed high school life in a different perspective of someone who you might consider an "outcast."

I hope to gain more knowledge and vocabulary expansion. I often catch myself using new words from books I've read and it catches me off guard but a lot of people say i speak well for my age and that they've never seen a kid so outspoken as me.

The setting which is a school environment shapes the character and theme. He has to be observant because he often gets bullied and when your in high school and weigh more than others you become a target to others.

There weren't any words I found to be difficult so far.

One theme that i think really ties together with this book is it's all about personality. In the book he explained why he had to try ten times harder because most people care about looks and won't look past that so say if your overweight people will only look at you and not like you simply because you weigh a little more. The book so far is really funny and brings some light to certain topics that i've never even thought twice about.

Overtime i would say Andrew became more confident. There was a girl he liked that suddenly started going to his school and some conflict arose. He stuck up for himself and the girl he liked so if that isn't development i don't know what is :)

what i enjoyed most about the book is it's reality. There are kids that could be in the same position as him and it sucks but he had such a good heart and never let it consume him or let the negativity change him.
