Honestly, my opinion of this book has not changed. It is still boring, has a flawed plot, and Jake would not do any of this in real life. He would probably burn the Creative Academy to the ground. Also, Jake would not stop being a criminal unlike what the story says. Also, there are so many conveniences like Jake being able to act and sing well even though he never has before and this kid smokes everyday and the just stops smoking. He was clearly addicted! Lastly, the most exciting thing in this is a Sound of Music play and that play is boring! Your opinion might differ but this is what I am getting from this boring and tasteless book.

Surviving the Applewhites
The book we have to read is called Surviving the Applewhites and is is a boring book about a kid on drugs that burns down schools. A play near the end of the book held by the crazy family he is staying with makes him good. That’s pretty much all that happens and is literally a book about crazy artistic people. That’s it. End of story.
In class we had to do a paragraph on our opinion on this book so here it is below
I do not think I will enjoy the book, “Surviving the Applewhites.” One reason is because it constantly talks about drugs and swearing which I do not like. Another is this is very boring as nothing much seems to be happening in this book. One example of this is that they are just doing class. There is more happening in the past year of Jake’s life than this book will hold I assume. I would never read this book on my own will if I could because everything is fruitless, intended for 3rd graders, and wrong. Examples of this in no interesting language, talking about jail, drugs, and burning things down. Overall this seems like it is going to be a bland, tasteless book which is not for me.
