Interpretation To Books It Looks Like This

It looks like this: Pink, mostly. Puffs of orange just below. The fiercest yellow way ahead—far, far ahead. Red slashed all across. All of it fading to blue, getting deeper and deeper as you go out.

A new state, a new city, a new high school. And Mike’s father has already found a church for the family to attend, even if Mike and his plainspoken little sister, Toby, don’t want to go. Mike’s dad also wants him to ditch art for sports, to toughen up, and there’s something uneasy behind his demands. Everything changes when Mike meets Sean, the new kid, and a simple “hey” turns into games of basketball, partnering on a French project, hanging out after school. A night at the beach. The fierce colors of sunrise. But Mike’s father is always watching. And so is Victor from school, cell phone in hand.

Evaluation Appertaining To Books It Looks Like This

my heart hurts. I can't say I "enjoyed" my reading experience, but I think this was an important read. It impacted me the way it should. Really great characters, even the minimal ones. Proper RTC

I'm gonna say this up front: I would not give this book to queer teens. I thought it was heartbreaking, and captivating, and a vital thing for people to read and understand, but I would not put it in the hands of vulnerable queer teens looking for literature that they can see themselves in. I would absolutely give it to teens who are looking to understand an aspect of the queer experience; I'm a librarian in a very conservative community, and I can see giving this book to parents or teens as a

Wow. This book was an emotional roller-coaster, and I absolutely loved (almost) every minute of it. "It Looks Like This" is an important book with an important message that I think should be read by all.Lets start with Mike, our narrator. Hes was extremely likable, and super relatable. I loved being inside his head, hearing his thoughts on his family, school, and love. He was interesting in the way most wallflowers are, introspective and observant, and I couldnt stop rooting for him along his

This book is just so, so bland.Here we have friendships built on the word, hey. Thats a whole lot of chemistry right there.We get scenes where he goes to pick up his sister at choir, but shes not there, and two seconds later he finds her. Then they go home, and - what was the point of these events?? There was no dialogue to make any of this relevant.We also get paragraphs of descriptions for background characters all the way down to the colour of their hair roots and I just cant make myself

This book was kind of disappointing, and predictable. I basically skimmed the last 100 or so pages. Both Sean and Mike have stereotypically religious families, so their relationship is doomed almost from the start. I did like Mikes little sister Toby, and when his mom finally stood up to his dad at the end. Its a slow read so I wouldnt recommend it for someone looking to get into books with m/m romance.

Gave up after 50 pages. Only Cormac McCarthy can get away with refusing to use quotation marks for dialogue--and it annoys the hell out of me that he does it in the first place.The prose is just a recitation of facts in the most droll manner possible. The comparison of Mittlefehldt's prose to Raymond Carver's made me read one of Carver's stories/get a general understanding of why Carver is considered a significant writer, but I saw no similarities between them. Carver's story still has a rhythm

Four star because it has lots of gay clichés, but it's so well written you hardly notice them, and they certainly don't seem forced. Would have been five stars if it weren't for how cliché it is. :)
