F My Life by Maxime Valette, Guillaume Passaglia, Didier Guedj, Missbean - a Book Review

Walter Kovacs
F My Life, by Maxime Valette, Guillaume Passaglia, Didier Guedj and Missbean, is a really funny and interesting book. I purchased and read it on my Kindle in about three hours. It doesn't have a plot. It doesn't have a lesson. It consists entirely of little blurbs people posted on www.FMyLife.com. When something bad would happen, people would post them on the Web site. Thousands of people write for FMyLife.com. This book consists of all those little things.

Although it isn't a novel, it has chapters. The book is separated into sections of different types of bad things. These chapters make it easy to find where you left off. The book was well organized and the categories made it easy to find what you wanted to read about.

I really liked this book. Some of the examples of bad incidents:

Today, my boyfriend broke up with me. I cried and told him that I loved him. He gave me a quarter and told me to call someone who cared. I threw the quarter in his face and ran. I waited for the bus, but when I got on, I realized I was 25 cents short of the fare. I walked home in the rain.

Today, my mom walked in on me looking at a 1978 Playboy. She asked if I found it in the basement. I said yes. Then I realized she was the centerfold.

Today, I got in line at the grocery store. The woman in front of me looked right at me, turned to her friend, and said "That reminds me, I forgot to get acne cream."

I really loved this book. It was interesting, fast paced, and was able to keep me from getting bored in fifth-period study hall. I suggest you are at least thirteen if you are planning on purchasing this book. There is some foul language and many sexual references. If your child doesn't know about sex and reads this book, he or she will know about sex. I would rate this book an 8 out of 10 for its hilarious content, organized composition, and price (about 10 dollars on Amazon.com)

Basically, what I'm trying to tell you is READ THIS BOOK!! It's creative and interesting, but might make you feel stupid because you have done some of the same things!
