Commentary In Pursuance Of Books The Art of Being Normal

Two boys. Two secrets.

David Piper has always been an outsider. His parents think he’s gay. The school bully thinks he’s a freak. Only his two best friends know the real truth – David wants to be a girl.

On the first day at his new school Leo Denton has one goal – to be invisible. Attracting the attention of the most beautiful girl in year eleven is definitely not part of that plan.

Comment On About Books The Art of Being Normal
I don't think I've ever been so happy to finish a book. And I don't mean that in a bad way, I literally finished the book with the biggest grin on my face, content with the ending and slightly wanting more Kate (David) and Leo. I'm so glad this book was mainly focused on finding ones true self, as well as true friendship. You know, the type of friendship you'll have for life. However, I also have to be open and honest to the slightly problematic aspects of the book too. Do I think this

I'm a trans person and when I saw this book I was super excited. It had a cool cover and a premise I was personally interested in.However, once I started reading I was honestly very disappointed.I know that trans people have different experiences and points of view on their gender, but so many things about this book seemed off to me. The book isn't written by a trans person, and that was my first clue. In the blurb: "Two boys." and "David wants to be a girl."Being trans isn't about wanting to be

Oh, this is one cute diversity read! I highly recommend this if you love Simon vs. the Homo Sapiens Agenda!Just like in Simon, in this book it is about a diversity character, in this case a trans, but without the book being written in a learny way. You get to know David and you learn what it's like to be trapped in the wrong body because he is. And I also like Leo a lot! And I like how, at least in the Dutch version, the different point of views are indicated with different fonts. I really like

I was really pleasantly surprised by this book. I've been hearing a lot about it and on my quest to read more UKYA (since it's where I'm from and I want to support the UKYA scene) I decided to pick it up. I am so happy that I did as it is one of those stories that I completely devoured. David is fourteen years old and has known since he was a child that he is really a female stuck inside a male body. His two best friends are the only ones to know and he is struggling to find the right way to

Im transgender myself and I work with transgender youth, so of course Im bringing that to the table. I didnt hate this book in fact, I quite liked large parts of it, but there are a few issues that drag it down. One of them was that I don't feel like it was written with transgender people in mind as a part of the key audience, unless they're teenagers still trying to figure out even the most basic things. But at the same time, it's a bit of a narrow representation of transgender people. The

When I first picked up this book I had really high hopes for it. The idea of a young transgender protagonist was really appealing and (as fickle as this may be) I love the cover. It's what drew me in. Having just finished the book, my overall thoughts are good, but not great. Story wise I really enjoyed it. I think the overall story was great. Both David and Leo are wonderful characters and I loved their inner monologues of their struggle with being transgender; they were thoughtful and they

The buzz around the release of The Art of Being Normal has been crazy! So many of my trusted friends and fellow reviewers have loved it so the pressure was on when I chose to read it myself.Williamson has created a novel I wish had been written years ago. Its incredibly brave I dont think theres anything too similar to it published at the moment and it stands out because of its themes and content. However, Im sad because I wish there were more books just like The Art of Being Normal. Im going
