EinFach Englisch New Edition Textausgaben: The Carbon Diaries

My year 12 Gk picked the novel to read in class. Here is what they made of it at the end of the course:In our English lessons we read the novel 'The Carbon Diaries 2015', which deals withclimate change. I liked the theme of climate change very much because it influenceseverybody in the world. In addition, I found it interesting to read such a book as our life is connectedwith climate change. What I especially liked is that the protagonist is a teenager because ourgroup can identify with Laura. Her diary entries make it easy to understand her feelings andher line of thought. However, the structure is disturbing and that is why it is sometimes noteasy to read. Some characters in the novel are too dramatic from my point of view and thatgets on my nerves. That is why I sometimes stopped reading. The language is authentic and itis quite easy to read.All in all, although readers interested in politics might enjoy reading such a dystopian novel foreshadowing a possible future, others will be put off by the exaggerated characters and the partly erratic narration.
