Narrative Conducive To Books The Spectacular Now
This National Book Award Finalist is now a major motion picture -- one of the most buzzed-about films at Sundance 2013, starring Shailene Woodley and Miles Teller.SUTTER KEELY. HE’S the guy you want at your party. He’ll get everyone dancing. He’ ll get everyone in your parents’ pool. Okay, so he’s not exactly a shining academic star. He has no plans for college and will probably end up folding men’s shirts for a living. But there are plenty of ladies in town, and with the help of Dean Martin and Seagram’s V.O., life’s pretty fabuloso, actually.
Until the morning he wakes up on a random front lawn, and he meets Aimee. Aimee’s clueless. Aimee is a social disaster. Aimee needs help, and it’s up to the Sutterman to show Aimee a splendiferous time and then let her go forth and prosper. But Aimee’s not like other girls, and before long he’s in way over his head. For the first time in his life, he has the power to make a difference in someone else’s life—or ruin it forever.

Puta pasada de final.I don't know if I hated this or I loathed it. Or maybe I just hold the whole setup in contempt... Boy with a superhero complex, wilting maiden who needs to be rescued... Oh and obvs she's not like other girls...........Excuse me while I search for something good to say about this book................still searching...It might be a while...
On finishing The Spectacular Now I feel hollowed out and slightly sick not because the ending was bad but because as much as I didnt want it to, it ended in probably the most realistic way it could. Part of me wants to gouge whatever scraps of hope I can from the close of Sutters story, hold onto the hints that things can and will eventually change, because not doing that hurts so much. I want to pretend that last chapter doesnt exist, but in way, its that last chapter that makes this book what
*Minor editing sorry*There were moments I liked but overall I didn't care much for this book overall. The only people here I felt attached to were Amy and after awhile, Cassidy. Sutter.. well, He was alright in the beginning, grew on me some after awhile but then he just got annoying after awhile. I tried to give him a break but at a certain point I just stopped caring. I kept hoping he would turn himself around but mentally I broke away from him and was just waiting to see if he was going to do
Didn't turn out the way I hoped it would. And after some pondering I think I actually like it for that exact reason.It's the story of a high schooler that's partying a lot, drinking way too much and seemingly can't hold on to any relationships with girls. Because at some point being fun and all isn't enough. You have to have some direction in which your life is going. And Sutter just doesn't. He lives in the spectacular now. The main character is simultaneously loveable and an ass. He definitely
This book started out so well but ended unresolved in my eyes. I was expecting a fabulous ending but it fell a bit short. Also, I disliked how Sutter believed that Aimee needed him to change her but didn't fully acknowledge how he needed her to change him too. Don't get me wrong, I really liked the book, but it lacked that certain something that would warrant 5 stars.
Did it have to end like that? :o(
