I See You Baby - third post

Summary part 3: page 40-116.
In the final part of the book there where the most obvious ending, as I had foreseen in my second preview. I said that Sally Mack and Keith Scully were ought to meet each other and that it would end up with that they will be together.
Well anyway, the last part of the book was about how they met each other. After Keith had taken the train to Manchester, he would go with the bus to the Rock out. But things didn´t go as planned, because after a while the bus go engine problems and stopped, and Keith had to walk the last mile to the Rock out.
On his way to the Rock out something strange happened while Keith was walking carefully beside the road. Suddenly he felt a soft heavy thing slammed on his back, he fell and rolled down from the grass bank and it felt as he rolled forever. When Keith finally got down he were out of speech, he couldn´t move, he just laid there looking around.
When he raised his head he saw the thing that did hit him, it was a black holdall. He thought to himself  that someone must have thrown it out of their car-window, and when Keith were standing there and thinking of the occurrence, he heard voices coming from the road. So Keith walked up the hill to see whom had thrown the holdall, and it wasn´t just any person, it was his favorite band lead artist Kiefer Shelley. Suddenly an a other member of the band started to shout on Kiefer
Band member: -" Why the bloody hell did you throw out your bag of the window?"
Kiefer Shelley:-"I didn´t mean to throw it out, it were supposed to hit your head!"
Band member:-"So it´s my fault now?
Kiefer Shelley:-"No I didn´t say that, and, anyway what do you care? You're the person who made me throw my holdall out of the window!!
Band member:-"I don´t care so get back in the car now, plus we are late!
Kiefer Shelley:-"But how about my holdall with my jacket in it?
Band member:-"Well leave it you have many of them don´t you, was there anything else in the holdall?
Kiefer Shelley:-"Yeah plenty of them, and no, there were nothing else.
Band member:-"So leave it you, let someone poor little sod find it or something I don't know, come on now!
After they left, Keith opened the bag and found the jacket, as were mentioned in their little argue before. He took out the jacket from the holdall, and putted it on because after his little fall down he got his clothes all ripped. The jacket fitted perfect on Keith ´s body, and when he put his hand in it´ s pocket and was amazed of what he found. He found a VIP pass with full access to all areas, and of course he took advantage of it.
Sally Mack had been sitting on the bus for four hours and she was really tired, but relived, because no auntie Rena was shouting to tell you what to do. The journey to the Rock out had been hot, sticky and boring. When she stepped out of the bus, she stepped in to a mass of people, rucksacks and tents everywhere, and disgusting people. Sally started to panic; it was stuffy air, with the smell of fat peoples sweat. A NIGHTMARE in other words. Then Sally started to scream "-Let me through, let me through, I have got an all access ticket, let me through! And would you believe it, they moved and let her through.
When Sally finally got in, she got so relieved that she couldn't believe it was true and the first thing she saw was a big gate with the sign "VIP only", and she felt like a rock-star entering on the red carpet inside. There was only one guy in front of Sally, a skinny boy with a nice jacket, and he walked around there like a dork believing he really was something.
And that is how Keith and Sally met…
I thought that the book was entertaining and interesting to start with, even though I soon realized what was going to happen. According to me I would give the book *** stars, because it´s a good book and good structure, easy to understand but still I am a bit angry of the obvious ending. It could have been a much better plot. I am looking forward to read another book by Kevin Brooks because I like his language, it´s modern and it´s funny. That's why I recommend this book to someone having some problems with language because it´s a good start if you want to read English.

I See You Baby - second post

Summary of the pages 20-40.
Keith Scully has really been looking forward to something for ages, and when it´s finally there it isn't that great.
When Keith left home he felt good, not fantastic but just good.  The sun was in the air and everything just felt great when he left home, but it would soon change. He was heading down  to see the best band in the world, "The Dead Holes". The best part of it would be; no rules, no parents and no teachers, only Keith and his two best friends Danny and James.
Keith was supposed to meet Danny and James at the train-station at 12 o´clock. At 10 past 12 there was not any sign of them anywhere.  And Keith felt pretty worried so he rang James on his phone.
James: -"Yeah?"
Keith: -"It ´s  Keith here"
James: -"What? " He shouted back.
Keith: -"It´s Keith!"
James: -"Who?"  He couldn´t hear Keith
Keith:-" Keith Scully"
James: -"Hey Scully!"
Keith: -"Where are you guys? The train is about to leave any second?
James: -"What train?"
Keith: -"The train to Manchester to the concert!"
James: -"Oh yeah right, we were on our way to ring you about that.."
Keith: -"What??"
James: -"We were going to ring you about that."
Keith: -"What do you mean?"
James: -"We are so sorry, Keith, but it's just that we met some girls yesterday, and we have a meeting with them today as well.
And then Keith hang up on them, but he didn´t care!  I don't need them, I can go on my own and it doesn´t matter AT ALL, Keith thought. Suddenly things were very clear for Keith; who was he trying to fool, James and Danny never where his best friends. They just had a conversation and they didn't take it serious. They probably just saw it like a spare thing to do on a Saturday.
So far the book has been entertaining but I think that it's not a good story it´s pretty obvious how it´s going to end. The positive side of this book is that it´s an easy language, and also a modern language. It contains common social problems as we have here in Sweden, so it´s good in that way. The writer has probably written this book about herself or someone she knew, that had the same problems as the major characters in the story.
So ,this far, I highly recommend this book to a teenager because it's fun to read, good for your language if you want improve it, and above all its common problems a that most teenagers have.

I see you baby - first post

The book contains two main persons, Sally Mack and Keith Scully, which are fed up with their life's. The first 20 pages were only about Sally Mack and  you get directly in to the story like you are this person.
What Sally Mack thought was that it would be just like any other Saturday….
She went up at 8 a clock in morning because she was heading for her job at Auntie Rena´s café.  When she got there it was exactly like any other Saturday, except that she had no idea of what was going to happen.
The duties Sally did at the café was always the easiest things, because she is so clumsy, something her Auntie did not appreciate AT ALL. This day, when she got a chance to serve coffee to a table, of course she spills as usual, but luckily not even near the girl she was serving. Even though the coffee wasn't near the girl she shouts "IDIOT!" loud. Everyone in the café can hear it and everyone looks at Sally and the girl.  The only thing the coffee was spilt onewas the girl's rucksack.
No big deal, Sally thought. But the rucksack girl get really angry and says that all her clothes for the weekend are destroyed. Sally´ s auntie now interferes and says that she will make it up to the rucksack girl. She tries to solve the situation as good as possible, and says that Sally is their worst waitress, as an excuse. The Rucksack girl, she isn't the politest person, and doesn't accept auntie Rena´s offer.
Suddenly, the rucksack girl says that she want to leave the café to go shopping for shoes. She leaves the café but before she goes she throws her bag to Sally, because she don't want it anymore, for some reason.
After Sally´s shift she gets fired for being clumsy. When she gets home she open the bag and she find´s ears plugs, four pot noodles, a travel kettle,  a travel iron, hair tongs, two bog rolls, dettox spray, wet wipes, a cuddly toy, a sleeping bag and four lace thongs. When opening a side pocket of the bag she finds a note and laughs for herself, because she thinks it is a note from the rucksack girl to her, BUT NO! It was a ticket to a Rock out and it was an all access pass. The backstage pass was issued for the rucksack girl which name was Ms. Sally Park.
To be continued………
And it was some words I didn't have idea of what they mean and it was
