Rotten Michael Northrop Books Reviews

After a summer away from his friends and his mom, JD is finally coming home but to a place that is not entirely the same as when he left it. His friends have bounded with different people, his girlfriend is somewhat of a sour note, and his mom adopted this dog that seems to hate all men. Welcome home? I've spent three or four weeks away from home and come home to a completely different place than the one I left behind. My friends are suddenly more busy than when I left, my parents have made plans that I had no idea about, and my dog isn't nearly as excited to see me as she used to be. The first thought that crosses any person's mind is, "What happened? Where is my real friends - my real family?" I liked the whole concept of the story which is very simple. There isn't a ton of subplots going on in the background. I know that compared to perhaps the concept of most other YA novels this one is pretty simple but it works for the plot line.

I prefer the shortened version of the main character's name, JD, far more than his actual name, which is honestly surprising because most of the time I like the full name more than the nickname. He is the rebellious guy that has a fun loving personality. He prefers to keep to himself in his room if he isn't hanging out with his friends. It takes some time for this rescued puppy that his mom adopted to warm up to him and a friendship sparks between the two of them. I wasn't extremely enchanted with him in the beginning because he honestly seemed a little boring, especially with the simple plot. I slowly started to warm up to him as his affections toward the dog grew and so on.

His mom is someone that I feel bad for. She is trying to have a good relationship with her son and keep their family together in a tight knit way. After sending him away, she hopes to protect him from his past mistakes but when she has to work a lot, it is hard to follow through. I admire her choices and the choices she wishes her son wouldn't make. I can sense a lot of my mom in this character because it was the same situation with her and my brother.

Johnny Rotten, oh how I despise this name for a dog despite how he may think it fits. I prefer the idea of calling him JR instead like JD. I adore dogs. I have a yellow lab that is my best friend, in fact she is more frequently by my side than not. So, of course, I was thrilled with the concept of this whole novel in general. The author really captured how an abused dog would act and how a dog in general is during the moments when JR is in the scene.

I am always cautious when friends take such a large role in the plot of the story because it can be either a very good thing or a very bad thing. More often than not, friends betray friends and that is what makes it hard. His friends are no different. Rudy is perhaps his best friend and I was thrilled that he stayed by JD's side throughout the story. I was worried that he would be the one that ends up hurting him the most. I was pleased to see it was not the case.

I enjoyed the story, it wasn't my most favorite story but it was a good read anyway.
I loved that this book is narrated by a boy. And I think that it was a realistic portrayal of a teenage boy (which isn't always the case) as JD is a character that we see his flaws, but we also see the good in him. He may not be so great at communication, but he's not a bad kid. He's made some mistakes though and we know that from the beginning, but we don't know what he did. That's part of the urgency to keep reading, because we know something happened and we want to know more.

Dog books are always a little scary to read because almost always something sad happens. When I was reading I was SO tempted to skip to the end just to make sure that the dog lived. But I didn't and I'm glad I didn't because I enjoyed watching things unfold and seeing where they went. While I got extremely angry about how some people behaved I never actually cried. So that's all I'm going to say about that.

This doesn't have a ton going on. It's about JD who meets Johnny Rotten when he returns from a summer away and Johnny Rotten is a rescue. He's been badly abused and is terrified of men. But JD sees the good in Johnny and watches the healing happen as Johnny starts to discover that there are people he can trust and love. Watching the affection grow between JD and Johnny was fantastic and made me think of the pit bull we use to have. She wasn't a rescue or anything, but she had so many of the same traits as Johnny. As for JD we see him as a normal teen boy who just wants to hang with his friends and avoid trouble. He also has some girlfriend issues which we also see unravel. While this appears to be a book that could be for middle grade boys it is definitely YA.

I wasn't real sure about this one going in, but I found myself thoroughly enjoying it and I read it almost straight through one night before bed. I definitely recommend it though I would say that it's one that more boys will like. Girls who enjoy 'boy' books will likely enjoy it and dog lovers will certainly connect to it as well.
i think the target audience of of teen boys will get into the story and see the importance of not labeling people and the way people and animals with big labels have a hard time. i read this to give to our 14 year old grandson. we'll see what he thinks.
