nigdy więcej nie chce przeczytać tej książki. popłakałam sie na końcu jak dziecko przez śmierć kiffo i poczułam ból. psychiczny ból który czują ludzie po utracie kogoś bliskiego.

I'm not sure what made me to pick up this book and read it but I am glad to have. Don't let the cover fool you; inside is a truly compelling story. I have never laughed as much as I had while reading this. Calma is smart, witty and hilariously funny. I love the adventures she goes on even if it's just stalking her English teacher. The ending was so sudden and tragic that after laughing as I turned page after page, I could not hold my tears in. In short, it is a recommended read. Barry Jonsberg is a rare but excellent contemporary writer.

This is one of the books that I liked but not one of my favorites.

I taught this to a year 8 class and honestly saw no point in it. There’s no clear message or purpose behind this book. At times it’s engaging but for the most part it’s annoying.

I really disliked the way the teachers and the principal just shrugged off what Calma said at the funeral. If people keep telling you you're a failure everywhere, then who's there to tell you you're not? If this actually happens irl, then -_- Personally I like to think of teachers as humans who actually care about other humans, but this was horrible. You're going to turn a blind eye to someone just because they seem like they're in the "wrong" crowd?

The ending was awesome though.

It's a great book :)

I'm sorry but this book did nothing for me. The sentence structure and overuse of anecdotes that were suppossed to be funny. I didn't even like Calma. Also, Kiffo should not have died. I see no actual reason for him to die.

I LOVED this book it taught me that you should not assome what you dont know.

My book is maybe the weirdest book I have ever read. This story takes place in a high school, in a class of 10th graders; just like me. There's 3 main characters, Miss Payne, Calma, and Kiffo. These characters are always getting in trouble with one another. Main ideas that occur in this story is that one of the students, Kiffo; he is a really big show off he always tries to be the biggest ignorant person in class. One time, they had a official teacher and Kiffo had a football in his hand and ended up throwing the ball at her face. All because she told him to do his work. So with this being said thats why Miss Payne is the new teacher. He doesn't like her because she is a pain like he describes her. Calma is another student that kind of changes a lot in class, shes a good student but has a hidden attitude. She likes Kiffo even through she doesn't want to admit it. She's the narrator of the story. They both get lots of detention while being in that class. Basically, they just dislike the fact that they get in lots of trouble because Miss Payne is a very strict teacher. I'm just going to get to the end of the book already. These kids wanted to figure out why she was like this. So they went to her home, sneaked in and just saw all these different weird conversations they were having they just couldn't explain. One time, Kiffo was at his house home alone and the phone lines cut off he got scared. They later found out she was sneaking up on them. So the kids felt as through they couldn't do anything anymore. They respected her so much because she got scary.

I actually like this book. Its pretty funny and all over the place. Makes me laugh here and then. What surprises me about this book is that it curses here and then and its pretty funny. I like everything about this book no dislikes. I actually would recommend this book to anymore who likes to read. It's a good way for people to learn how to read and focus on different topics.

Finished rereading this on 6th July 2021, a little over 1 a.m. As I was reading, I wanted to modify my rating to 3 stars. I remember enjoying Calma’s narrative when I first read it, because of her sarcasm. Now, six years later from then, I couldn’t help regarding her narrative as childish. But the story drew me in, especially as it drew towards the end. And I realised that there’s a sequel to it. Definitely buying it. So... not changing my rating ;)

3.75-4 /5 stars

5⭐/5

Cytując moją opinię z lubimyczytać:
Książka przy której każdy z pewnością się uśmieje.

I te zdanie podtrzymuję. Niezwykle dobrze kiedyś bawiłam się na tej książce, a w końcówce płakałam strasznie, aż doprowadziło mnie to do zastoju czytelniczego (choć wtedy tego się tak nie nazywało XD). Piękna, wartościowa opowieść, choć bardzo króciutka.

(aktualizuję gr i dodaję książki od samego początku zapisywania)
