Noah T, Butter
Oh my gosh, this book was so depressing! I couldn’t stop reading it, and literally brought it everywhere. I managed to read it in three days and was so happy for him except it was kind of gross when it described it. I liked the ending of butter, it was a happy ending and it made me feel good for butter that people actually liked him even after he didn’t kill himself. I kept thinking that you don’t have to be skinny to be liked even though I didn’t think they actually liked him.
Anna was a big Character in the book because Butter formed his life around to impress and hang out with her. It was sad when he had told Anna that he was the online boyfriend and when said she hated him. That broke me and I had to stop reading for a second. This book was my 2nd favorite book on the other hand. It made me think and think of ways that could help Butter.
I wondered why they didn’t have butter’s name until the very last page but now i think it was a good idea. Once i finished this book the only thing that was running through my mind was that one simple decision can change you’re life so dramatically.

Hello Noah,
Nice to finally hear from you again, I was wondering where were you. I hadn’t seen any of your blogs.
You are right this book Butter when I first read it I was pulled into it as well. It was like you said a bit disturbing when he would talk about foods and how much he would eat. When he was 423 pounds I though wow, this kid is big, and like you said a person doesn’t have to be skinny to be liked. I speak for myself in this situation. Two years ago, I have to say that I myself was a big girl. I used to weight 264 pounds, then I told myself that I had to loose weight in order to feel better about myself because lets face it, I remember when I was fat a lot of people would stare at me and I would feel overwhelm but that all change last summer, not this summer but last summer. I started running the track of Chico High and after i lost 64 pounds I started going to the gym because I was loving the way I looked. Now I’m 150 pounds and Im so proud of where living healthy and exercise has taken me.
In some parts were Butter would eat his problems away and his mom and dad wouldn’t say much to help him I feel like his parents could have been a great support. It’s sad that Butter went through those extremes in eating so much food to the point that he ended up in the hospital. I also agree with you his life pretty much revolve around Anna’s life because he mentioned her a lot throughout the book. And I feel like they only mention what his real name is at the end because he is introducing himself to Anna as if he was barely going to meet her.
I also like the book just not so much were he described how much food he would eat to the point in were he would puke it out. What book will you be reading next?
