Going Bovine is a great and hysterical book. I love it so much I read it every chance I get. The main character, Cameron, is a typical high school boy who doesn't really care about anything, not his family, not sports and especially not his twin sister, Jenna (She does not like him either.)! There are many times so far in the book where Cameron and Jenna have very funny arguments with each other. One is when the entire family is supposed to go out for pizza together. Jenna doesn't want to go because she has something to do with her popular group of friends. Cameron starts to insist that he doesn't have to go if she doesn't. Eventually the whole family goes to pizza, and it is all the parents can do to keep them from saying some very rude things to one another. Another time is in the school hallway when Jenna yells at him for punching her boyfriend. Actually Cameron had only brushed by him while his hands were in fists, but the boyfriend exaggerated a lot. Jenna's boyfriend does this because he hurt himself while playing football, so he wants to stay cool by being the leader of his group of friends. He sucks up to teachers and gets "bad" people in trouble. Jenna's boyfriend is one of the many reasons why Cameron hates her so much. Cameron also has a very funny friend at a music store. The man is the manager and is always trying to get Cameron to buy one of his smooth jazz albums, but Cameron has to refuse because he would probably lose them and feel guilty about it. Cameron decides to stick with his usual artist who he thinks plays "a mean recorder"!

Evan,
ReplyDeleteI really enjoyed reading your blog. Your description of the characters are so great and made me want to pick up this book. It was fun that you included the cover to the book because I always look at covers when I choose a book.

I am enjoying Going Bovine and I especially liked the opening chapter about Cameron's near death experience at Disney World and I can totally see how someone might think that they had died in the It's a Small World ride - seriously funny. I need to read more, and when I'm done I'll bring it in for he room library. Have you read any of her other books? The ones that I have in the room are a combination historical fiction/fantasy. Loved them!

ReplyDeleteYou make this book sound sooo good. I'm really interested in more reasons why him and his sister fight the way they do and what happens in the end. It seems like a great book that I would read! Does our school library have it? Thanks for the entertaining suggestion.
