Fun youth novel with a deeper core

Reviewed in Canada 🇨🇦 on November 3, 2020

I will be giving this as a gift to the young people in my circle of friends and family; it is an entertaining read that is nonetheless, thought-provoking and can lead to deep discussions on social justice and inequality. I am looking forward to having these discussions with the recipients of that book.

‘My body. I’m speechless, can’t even utter a single syllable.’ A tart novelty that works!

Reviewed in Canada 🇨🇦 on April 5, 2021

Canadian author Thorsten Nesch is a celebrated German Young Adult novelist whose career advances include literary arts grants and writer’s residencies in Denmark and Germany, and he has been engaged for live readings in many countries at schools, universities, book fairs and other locations. His books, in English, include GROLAR, THE LOCOMOTIVE, JOHNNY BURDON, THE TIME TRAVELLER, LET’S ROB THE COPS, FOR A SPIN, and I AM YOU AM I – translated from the German by Caroline L. Rieger and Camille Wallace.

Nesch’s mastery of the YA genre is magnetic, able to fuse all the elements that create the unique lifestyle of that creatively minded audience well. The opening of his book hints at the tone to come – ‘In front of a fancy mirror framed by 24 glowing low-energy bulbs I feel like a rock star even this early before school. Mom had it installed last week. With two young ladies in the house it’d be like a good investment, she said. One of the young ladies is me. I have no clue who else she meant. We live practically alone in the house. Dad is abroad for most of the year. He’s a civil engineer. Bridges. Four months in South America, two weeks here, half a year in Africa, another month here and for three months now he’s been in Singapore. I’ll see him on Saturday. Unless I count our weekly Skype session…’ Easy to identify with the initial character, but the fun is only beginning.

Taking the body switching to new heights, Nesch summarizes his story as follows: ‘She comes from a rich family in Vancouver and enjoys horse back riding, he lives on the wrong side of town and calls boxing his hobby. Two very different teenagers changing their bodies accidentally and have to live the life of the other. ‘ The language is appropriately raw as thought processes and conversations unfold during this corporal transition. The story unfolds well, the romp is hilarious, and the many facets of identity of youth blossom beautifully. This is a very entertaining book, especially for the YA audience, uncovering those many little quirks that make us so very human. Grady Harp, April 21

I Am You Am I

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on June 11, 2022

This is one of those love-it/hate-it books. It's a spin-off of Trading Places meets Freaky Friday.

Nicole and Frank are the stereotypical troupe of rich girl meets boy from the wrong side of the tracks. However, this isn't a romance. Instead it's two teenagers who end up swapping bodies through a freaky science experiment. Due to the writing / formatting style of the editor / author, it was hard to know who was talking and the story became confusing at times.

Even though the characters were very one dimensional, over half way through the book I began to feel for them. Nicole's plight being stuck in Frank's life while Frank got to experience a world only seen from afar. Why would Frank want to go back? It wasn't hard to figure out the twist.

There were several times I wanted to DNF it, but like a bad train wreck, I had to see what happened. And I'm glad I stuck it out as I liked the ending. It fit perfectly and was well done.

And this is why I hated the book and almost DNF'd it:
Yeah. – You’re so pretty Nicole.
– I know.
– I’m proud of you. I smile at her.
– I love you.
– Love you too.

Would I recommend the story? If you can handle all the wrong punctuation for dialogue, which is what really killed the story for me, then yeah, try it. You'll probably like it. I give it 3 stars.
