Ladies Man Essay Response

In this book it is really confusing because reading the title “Ladies Man” sounds like some love story. The first part of it is about the best boat in the world called The Tube. Why do they call it the tube? Who’s a man character in this? The book is written like they are talking to you in person and there are no letters or words written in front of you.

First it starts talking all weird and I don’t know what the man is saying when he writes this. He talks in third person a lot too. Like when he is talking he says “Mrs. Scrivener-Yapling, with a hyphen” When it is clearly written with a hyphen. I think it is cool how he writes this short story like that. The book is weird because the story is about ladies man you think but half of the book it’s about this boat called The Tub. I didn’t get this book at all. It was so confusing.

This book to me was very confusing. Yes, I know I have said that a hundred times but it’s true. My feelings for this book are all over the place if you don’t believe me then you should read it yourself. Some parts of the book I was happy and others I was sad. Like I was sad because, well not really in a part of the book, just that when you read it you feel like you are there. Mrs. Scrivener-Yapling sounds like a good mother or grandmother. I would like to meet her in person if she is real. The captain of The Tub I want to meet him too he seems, in this book, like the kind of captain that will go down with his ship.

Altogether I thought that this was a really good book. I think if the author made this book longer and made it into a chapter book it will go far. I would say it is one of the best books I have read well second. It was still good I would recommend it to anybody who wants a quick book to read.
