Well, as usual, Uma did NOT do his summer reading for school. It was a book called "Gifted Hands" by Ben Carson. So uh... Were having a test on Thursday, this week, so I need to YOU to help me like... Understand the book, like I read the book... no' wut' I'm sayin?

Though I highly doubt anyone has read this book... Or not. Idk...

So yeah. Plz summarize the book for me so I can at least pass the test on it.

I did google it, thats how I found out the author...

But I didn't think reveiws would help... They usually say stuff like "A charming and heart-warming tale of a mad scientist and his neglected son."(Which is not what the book is about)... That wouldn't really help me. But I'll read reviews anyways!

Edit:

Nevermind! I just found a book preview on google books... I could prolly get the gist of it from that.

Hmm, you really should have read it... D:
Even if you found a book preview on google books, you can still do like everyone and go Wikipedia to read summaries of the book.

Wikipedia does NOT have a summary of this book - gasp, shock, horror. Unless it's in Wikibooks, which I didn't check D:

Well, I WAS supposed to be in regular English II, but some how I got put into English II Honors, which is like the smarter class and stuff, so yeah. I even had my parents sign a note that said "Do not put [Uma] in any honors classes!" and gave it to my guidence counselor.

So guess what happens? They do this thing were they get rid of classes like Computer Programming, combined Health, PE and Teamsports into 1 class, and made it so who ever is recommened for Honors had to take an honors class. Its supposed to reduce class sizes, and it worked, but now I'm !@#$% up so bad with this test.

I read the preveiw on google books, and it seemed like the same kind of true story type of things they make you read. A book about a kid who's father leaves him, grows up poor, gets bad grades as a kid and ends up becoming a doctor who performs life saving surgeries on tons of people. Yawn.

So now I gotta' pray I don't make an F on this thing... Fuckin school making me fuckin read a fuckin boring as !@#$% book which I didn't fuckin read because I fuckin knew I wasn't going to be in fuckin honors, but NOOOOOOOO! We can't fuckin do that! Make Uma fuckin take a test on a book he fuckin wasn't supposed to fuckin read and then go around saying "OMG Y GET F"?

Good thing my parents understand... I'll just need to not screw up any more in that class.

Oh and I'll check wikibooks out. Wish me luck on the test tomorrow!

Update!

I took the test today(Would've of posted earlier but I needed to finish ma' homework and other stuff), and all I can really say is that I might of done mediocre. The test was NOT multiple choice, rather every question was long or short response and consisted of 5 questions.

1 of them was more of an opinionated one, and the others were pretty easy to predict even though I had no idea wtf they were, so I might end up with a low C.

... Or I phail. Fission mailed style.

Well, it's still the beginning of the year... And being in Honors is nothing bad, except that it's really not for *smart* people. XD
