This is my fourth entry and I post it after I read until page 240, that means I finished chapter 12

First I'll give you a summary of the latest events:

Sam left Hastings the same night he went there. He went home to his mum and didn't leave the house for a couple of days. He tried to keep out of Alicia's way, but he couldn't do it for a long time. After four days he met Alicia and they talked about the problem. Alicia wanted to keep the baby and she could persuade Sam (well he didn't had to say a word in this affair, because it wasn't his body). So they broke the news to their parents. The parents were all shocked. At the end Alicia asked Sam if he want's to life with her and her family and he couldn't say no. Then the book describes another weird "dream" of Sam. He got whizzed in the future again but this time further. His ´mum had another baby and his son Rufus, calles Roof, was born and twoo years old (I think). He had to take him to a doctor, but they ended up in a park. Afterwards he brought Roof back to Alicia and went home (strange because he used to live with Alicia).
So these were the latest events.

So here are some questions I would like to ask Nick Hornby:

How he made up the story? Has he maybe made the same experinces like Sam?
Is there any connection to his live?
Who he wrote this book for?

And here are some events that made me stop reading and think:
The first time I stopped reading was by the time Alicia and Sam omitted the condom. I thought about teenager-pregnancy and stuff like that

Then I read the conversation about the possible pregnancy. I thought how it would be if i became a father at this age. I think i would be scared too, but I also think I wouldn't run away. I would try to fix it. But that's easy to say because I'm not in this situation and can just make some guesses.

The third time I had to stop was while I read Sams "trip" to hasting. I thought how it would be to leae your home at an age like this to start your own life.

And last (but not least^^) Ihave to say I stillenjoy reading this book.Now there's even a new aspect: the strain. What will happen next? What's Sam up to? and question like these, while reading, are something very exciting to me.
