    inhaltlich.....

    inhaltlich sind auch noch einige fehler mit von der party.... chapter 23 geht er ohne pumpkin los "sry, but this is sth. private"
    und die umgebung(the river trail) ist nicht matts lieblingsplatz, sondern ursulas (geht aus chapter 24 hervor)

    beim river/creek trail denkt er über alles nach, und es ist ihm egal,was mit ihm passiert.

    zum buch: wie meine vorposter schon gesagt haben: langweilig, kindisch, aber schön zur vokabelergänzung und wiederholung (vieles kann man sich schön aus dn sätzen herleiten und verloren geglaubtes wissen auffruschen ;D )
