Description:
What do you do if you find yourself suddenly, and without provocation, the target of high school aggression, relentless insults, and painful isolation? Such is the dilemma of teenager Alex Rogers, the main character in I'm Only Human After All, the thought-provoking, absorbing novel inspired by the real-life trials of the author by the same name. In this penetrating story, Rogers draws from his personal experiences to offer invaluable insight to students, teachers, and parents everywhere on today's increasingly common, and highly damaging, instances of bullying and cyber-bullying. The novel's poignant, reflective first-person narrative details all that bullied young adults confront, casting crucial new light on this timely topic to enable individuals to cope with this pervasive problem. I'm Only Human After All also represents the debut work of fiction in the ongoing "Empowerment" series based on the author's life that surrounds topics relevant today.
Review:
Plot:
This book gave quite an insight for those, that never experienced it: bullying.
It is about Alex, a teenage boy, that starts his first year on highschool. As the main topic of this book is his story of how he was bullied, you can imagine, that the new school didn't go so well for him. Thoughts and feelings are described, while cruel jokes of fellow students are pulled out on Alex.
Language:
I really enjoyed the natural writing style of the author. It was authentic, I believed everything, nothing seemed fake. However, in my version there were a few editing mistakes still - something you can overlook though, as the general package was good =)
