Representaion To Books Good Oil
A wonderful, coming-of-age love story from a fresh new voice in YA fiction.'Miss Amelia Hayes, welcome to The Land of Dreams. I am the staff trainer. I will call you grasshopper and you will call me sensei and I will give you the good oil. Right? And just so you know, I'm open to all kinds of bribery.'
From the moment 15-year-old Amelia begins work on the checkout at Woolworths she is sunk, gone, lost...head-over-heels in love with Chris. Chris is the funny, charming, man-about-Woolies, but he's 21, and the 6-year difference in their ages may as well be 100. Chris and Amelia talk about everything from Second Wave Feminism to Great Expectations and Alien, but will he ever look at her in the way she wants him to? And if he does, will it be everything she hopes?

Actual rating: 4.5 stars!Lately Ive been lucky enough to add a few books to my all-time-favorites list, all of them Australian. Raw Blue, for example, left me with this feeling of beauty and despair that just wont go away. I realize that Ive been going on and on about Aussie authors and that Id even threatened to move there at one point, but I see no reason to stop. Good Oil is just another proof of how special and engrossing their writing style usually is. This story is about 15-year-old3.5 - 4 Stars, I can't make my mind upThis took me back to being an awkward, shy, slightly odd 15-year-old. When every little thing is a major event and the future doesn't exist past next week. I think a lot of people will relate to Amelia and Chris. While this doesn't show their lives past that one year, it gives an accurate portray that I really enjoyed.
Such a cute read! Just the title and the book cover alone already made me want to take the book home which I did and which I didnt regret because this is one of the more genuine, more honest coming off age stories about being fifteen, being awkward and falling in love for the first time, about heartbreak, about the toughness of being at that crucial age of entering the world of adulthood and generally about growing up. Creatively told in the alternating POVs, Amelias voice and Chris narrative
It is always pleasant when you approach a book with certain expectations and then, after reading it, you realize these expectations were widely exceeded. That's exactly what happened to me with Good Oil. I knew the book is Australian (always a good sign), that it is YA and I thought it would all be about fluff - this theory supported also by the cover that reminded me of a billboard for a Kate Hudson movie. Doesn't the girl there remind you of her?I also suspected that this would be a
The Good Oil3 StarsThis is the kind of book that you want to give 4 stars but can't because everything that bothered you hits you in full force, that you start to forget the fun you had whilst reading it. The Good Oil follows two main characters throughout their journey in life. The first character, Amelia, is a 15 year old girl in high school who's at the time of her life where she starts to notice everything wrong with the world, she's angry, she's bitter, and she's so real. I remember when I
I am Chris, your friendly staff trainer. Youll be with me for three hour shifts. I will call you grasshopper and you will call me sensei. And I will give you the good oil. Right?I dont even know where to begin with this book. I loved it...lets start with that. It made me think about a lot of things...theres another point to offer. But, theres just so much that makes up this story and to try and dissect it would just be criminal. I had no clue what to expect with Good Oil. Heck, I didnt even know
