Thoughts about the book- I thought that this was a very great book i really enjoyed reading it, some parts in the book were funny. This book was very well explained so it was easy for me to understand it
Character- The main character in the book Absolutely Normal Chaos is Mary Lou Finney, she is a very funny girl she was also very honest because carl ray had told her a lot of information that not everybody knew and she didnt tell anybody
Reading Stratergie Used- The reading stratergie i used was Mental Image. When i was reading i could see Carl Rays expression on his face when he found out that his real father had died and he barley knew him i felt bad for him
