My opinion

My opinion on the novel is that it was an interesting and believable story, and I really enjoyed reading it. I really liked the way Nick Hornby writes, and the fact that the language is different from other adult books and more directed to teenagers. Sam quickly became my favorite character because he seemed like an ordinary 16 years old boy, and still he managed to deal with all his struggles. In my opinion, Hornby managed to write a believable and relevant novel. It is not the kind of book I normally would read, but I really enjoyed Slam and I am glad I read it. If I were to rate the book, I would give it a 5 out of 6 because it was extremely well written and the plot was exiting, but sometimes there were some confusing parts and the story sort of paused for a short while. But all in all, a very good book that I recommend to all teenagers:)
