Twelve
(Nick McDonell)
Twelve by Nick McDonellReviewTwelve by Nick McDonell is about the rich, bored children living in the Upper East Side of New York.It deals with White Mike, a drug dealer, and his consuments. Meanwhile the personal background of the main charakters is described very detailled and authentic, the rest of the charakters only seem to fulfil stereo-types.We got the normal high-school beauty, the dumb football captain and frustrated boys, whose only wish is to have sex with every female, they know. Or with any of them. There are also some mad guys always smoking weed and really suffering under their own sillyness.It seems as if Nick McDonell had some great ideas for he constructed a very complex beginning. He names many interesting topics reaching from drugs, sex, love and hate to the situation of bored, rich children and their call for aid, the modern drug business or groups compulsion.Nevertheless he manages it to finish the whole story in about 5 pages. So finally you?re asking yourself whether you?ve not found the sense of the story or if there really isn?t any structure behind this book. But a he mentions in his book himself, he hadn?t that much time to write this novel, because he had only the vacations to finish it. Due to it?s sintatic mistakes and it?s missing connection to drugs and their effects Twelve is not worth reading it, although consisting of so many different interesting and debatable topics.Nick McDonell also forgot to give his book a message. But... the question is if it needs a message. It?s not a book a we know it. It?s more a report. A report of his point of view on the rich bored children. Message?
