Personal Effects

I have started reading a new book called "Personal Effects" By E. M. kokie. I haven't read much but it seems like once I start reading further into the book it will be real good. So far what I read is that there is a kid who I believe is Matt, it's pretty confusing in the begging, and he just really hates this one kid named  Pinscher. I think that is his nickname the Matt gave him because while reading I think someone called him Pete. Ok so Matt hates Pete because Pete has a bunch of pins and stickers on his back saying things like "Iraqis are people too" and other things like that. Well he gets hated by Matt because of that. What I'm thinking, it's because he had a sibling that was in war and died, and Matt doesn't want to be reminded. Well then Matt sees a pin on Pete's backpack and just wanted to get a closer look so what he did was slam pete into the locker and read it. When he finished reading it, he just started to beat up Pete. He broke Pete's nose and broke a couple of things. Things get very intense in the beginning. That how you know its gonna be a great book. That is all I got to so far and hope to read more.

Matt personality is very tough and acts like he doesn't care. He isn't hated by anyone and has friends by his side. He acts this way because his dad never believed in him growing up and wanted to show him that he was tough and not a wimp. I think that once he gets what he wants he will change. He will change his personality by acting much nicer, more chill. I can't say very much about him because I have just started the book but I also think that he has a soft spot. I don't think he's all bad. Oh and he is 17 years old, so he isn't small either. I never thought that a 17 year old would act this way. I thought that they would be calm and nice, but I guess thats not everyone. Well that is what I think that Matt will be like in the future of the book and that is how he acts now.
