I think "Whale Talk" by Chris Crutcher is a very, very interesting book. Its about a guy who is asked to form a swim team for cutter high, a high school where jocks are plentiful and letter jackets are revered beyond all else and it is practically illegal to wear one that you havent earned. Anywway, TJ Jones (the J is redundant) which is short for his full name, The Tao Jones, makes it his personnal mission to only include those who have not yet been in sports to kind of show off to all the jocks that their letter jackets arent as valubal as they seemed to think they were. His team consists of seven people, including TJ Jones himself, the rest are Chris Coughlin, a boy who was givin permanent brain damage by his mother's ex-boyfriend, Dan Hole a nerdy kid who's kind of a comic relief character who has to do things like push-ups, etc for every time he uses words the coach doesn't know, Simon DeLong, a fat kid, Jackie Craig, a kid who could spontaniously combust, and no one would notice, Tay-Roy Kibble, a guy who bodybuilds and is like the buffest kid ever (except for Alvin Thisisafakelastname of course), and Andy Mott, a person who was origannaly thought to be a psychopath, which was inaccurate, he is a one-legged psychophat. Together with Chris, Dan, Simon, Jackie,Tay-Roy,and Andy, TJ is determined to win the Swim Team all letter jackets to show the jocks that anyone can win one.
Will TJ and his rabble of Swimmers that make up the Cutter All-Night Mermen be able to take first in state or will they crash and burn. Reading over this it now seems more like a movie trailer for Whale Talk than a blog entry, but, oh well those are my thoughts for now on Whale Talk, by Chris Crutcher.

Having fun with your new blog and yourlastnamethatisntreal? Lol. I liked your descriptons, and how you pointed out that Mott is a 'ONE LEGGED psychopath'. Very fully ;)
Well, aside from the fact that a lot of your stuff was kind of direct quotes, I do have to agree with Rowan that your comments on Mott are still amusing.
>:O just stop it, David, or I'll have to make you do push ups.
lol jk >XD
I would also say that a lot of things that you wrote were probably a little too directly from the book. But I pretty much agree with your description, and yeah, it does kind of sound like a movie trailer because it's so 'dramaful.'
To Rowan Oakhart,
Firstly it's "Thisisafakelastname", and secondly thank you for the comment on my blog. And yes, I know how fully I am.
To D.C.,
Hey, just because someone may or may not have remembered that we were supposed to label our direct quotations, that doesn't mean you get to spaz at them. But, regardless, thank you as well for the supportive critisism.
To Whale Talker,
Again, I forgot to label them, sorry. But, thank you for commenting on my blog.
P.S. There's a word "dramatic". It's just like dramaful except it's actually a real word.
Hey, hey hey. first, We can make up words if we want! Heck, I do it all the time!!! Ever heard of "Prettyful"? and second, d.c. already informed me of my little spelling mistake! Learning German really screws up your ability to spell, ok? T,T besides, I was typing really fast!
P.S., about your description...Ever heard of the song "So much cooler online?"
To Rowan,
...How does German turn Ns into Ls. In case you forgot, I take German, too.
P.S. People normally put P.S.s in the same comment...like this.
Well maybe i'm NOT NORMAL? Ever think of that? >:D and hey, i take HONORS German 2!!!! Take that!
To Rowan,
Well I'm not good at German, way to hurt my feelings.....*sob*.
