I think this part is significant, " The Goober Was BEAUTIFUL when he ran. His long arms and legs moved flowingly and flawlessly, his body floating as if his feet weren't touching the ground. When he ran, he forgot about his acne and his awkwardness and the shyness that paralyzed him when a girl looked his way. Even his thoughts became sharper........."

I found the book in downtown bookstore. First I was interested in the cover of the book, and the i read the summary, I think it will be a very interesting book for me.

The first two chapters just talking about some main people in the book and they are in a game. I think they will have a lot of chocolate. I felt nothing while I was reading the book so far.

I think I will like the book, becasue the first two chapters didn't make me boring.
