-] Culture Shock [-

Today I will talk about "Culture Shock", the book that we have read in class the past months. The story take's place in Spain and London. Paloma a batxillerat student have to move to Londo because her parent is about to lost his job and he decided to accept a work of the same company in London. There the story starts to develop and becoming interesting...

Alert! The text as following could have spoilers!

I have finished of reading that book. The book is interesting but some things are unreal . When Paloma is thinking or talking with her parents, she could speak in spanish , no? I write this because in the book this passages are wrote is english.
The book in general speaks about the typic problems of the world and the teenagers : the alcohol, the boys , the studies , etc , etc.
Paloma in the book prsents an inmature girld that she is "dominated" by her "friend" Eva and she have a lot of problems, but in the story Paloma learn to understand and decide about that she wants to her life. The talks with Marta , her sisters , help her to obtain that and become an adult.

The end of the book : well , the end is an easy end. The writer have decided that Paloma stay in London with her new friends and leave Daniel in Madrid. The great question is : what's about Daniel? He will forget Paloma, or he will be there loving she in the distance. Ignoring these things , the final is well .
Prehaps Paloma come back to Spain and live with Daniel , or Paloma will stay with Gary ... We know hat in the next volume , if that exist...
