Face
Written By Benjamin Zephaniah
In the book face written by Benjamin Zephaniah.
Martin is on top of the world thinking life could not possibly get better , he’s the coolest guy at school , has a fantastic girlfriend and is a leader of a gang of three(Mathew , Mark and himself).That is until his world turns upside down - literally .After a night out partying at the club in town Martin finds himself drunk and wandering home when one of his schools students , that he doesn’t know , offers him a lift home. Martin thinking he is only getting a lift home jumps in the car not realizing who’s driving. After the accident , Martin doesn’t realize he’s been in , he wakes up in a room, not his room, a blank white sterile smelling room. Later on questions are being fired at him one after the other….exhaustion takes over and questions bother and fill his mind. Where is he?Why am I here?Where are my friend and family.Why do I feel so stiff ??????? He doesn’t want to be seen by anyone , everyone always stares at him , his friends treat him differently and suddenly it seems as if his girlfriend isn't really his anymore.
In this book the characters are martin, Mathew, Mark, Natalie, Martin’s parents , Martin’s counsellor and Anthony. Anthony is a boy in hospital who meets Martin while he is in hospital .He makes Martin realize that he is still not suffering as bad as some people ,especially Anthony who has to still go in for operations years after his own birth defect in which he had no control over it. Mathew and Mark are Martin’s best friends as well as having Natalie as a close friend and girlfriend . Throughout the whole book the person that stays Martins good friend is Mathew. Mark slowly breaks off from being part of the gang of three after Martins accident and finds another group of friends to hang out with.Natalie is a great girlfriend until after the accident when she finds it hard to see Martin with his burnt face .Martins parents are also very important and are very kind and help Martin through his operation and facing school. Martin also has a very important counsellor who helps with facing his friends, school, and other little problems he faces along the way.
I really enjoyed this book because it had you feeling like it was a true story .I felt that this book always had new little problems that were popping up . The thing that kept me hooked was that you always wanted to see what was going to happen next.
In conclusion I would recommend this book to people around the age of fourteen as it would be a situation that a few teenagers would get into not realizing what their in for.
