Haiku Guy Response

The book, Haiku Guy, was a pretty interesting novel to read. It was an interesting writing style; switching back and forth between modern and ancient times. After a while, this did get annoying, but it's an interesting way to  confront this story.

This story was pretty interesting, though. Boring, yes, but the way it was set up made it a little more interesting. The characters, on the other hand, were extremely interesting. I loved the way that they are described, and their different attitudes toward haiku. Their nicknames were a little strange, but definitely set their personalities. But, I did not like it when David G Lanove brought himself and his friends into Buck-Teeth's world. I didn't understand the necessity to bring these people into a completely different story; they belong in their own.

Also, the haiku's throughout the book were very interesting to read, even though I don't like reading/writing haiku...at all. It set the standards of "good haiku," which I will not reach, but for some reason, I'm not aiming to become the best haiku writer of the class.

Over all, this book was pretty enjoyable to read. Even though I would not read it again, I did not mind reading this for class. Take out the characters going into other peoples stories, and I would enjoy it even more!
