This story is about a guy named John that thinks he is a “nobody”. He doesn’t think anyone understands him and to be honest they really don’t. I like the way this book is written. It is all about John’s thoughts when things are happening like his “dad that is not his dad” beats him, when he is at school and his confusion with girls. Because of this, it is written in first person. This book really makes me think about how cruel abuses are and how it is really hard to distinguish who is being abused and who isn’t. The people being abused are so scared for their life, and how much they keep it to themselves because of the threats the abuser puts upon them. John doesn’t deserve it, nobody deserves it. This book is very sad, but yet very moving!
John is only 14 years old and he is in middle school. He doesn’t have many friends and he keeps to himself most of the time. He is in band and plays the tuba, only because he needs an extra curricular activity not because he thinks he’s at all good. Although, he is actually good and even earns a solo in a song written by the band instructor himself! You learn about the normal drama that happens in school, how confusing girls can be. And just go through a normal life of a teenage boy. Except it isn’t at all normal. How so you ask? You will have to read to find out!
I would recommend this book to anyone who likes excitement and books that they cannot put down. You don’t know me is definitely a page-turner and an easy and fast read! I would give it 4 out of 5 stars!
