Stranger Things: Runaway Max

Product Information

It's been a while since I saw season 2 of Stranger Things, so I liked returning to it in this book. Runaway Max is both a prequel of Max's life pre-Hawkins as well as her thoughts across the second season. I loved getting a deeper look into her mindset and her life before, especially her relationship with Billy.

low-key annoying that the dialogue is often copied one-to-one from the show… would have loved to see more detailed conversations Max going "there are four dumbass boys lurking behind a building staring at me and whispering, thinking I can’t see them"… they are idiots, alright ADHD!Max is real and valid (she's always been real and valid, but this book makes it veeeery explicit) Max immediately comparing Will to her extremely queercoded best friend from California, I see what you’re doing (besides, WillMax is so underrated, I need more of them *snivels*)rounding my 3.5★ rating up to four stars even though it was a fairly average read and a pretty straightforward retelling of the events of S2 for the most part, and there really wasn’t much in there I could possibly use for my thesis, but I don’t care. I love Max and I love S2 and I am emotionaaaaaal😭😭😭 Mike is such a hostile and petty bitch, though… ugh, I love my depressed repressed cringefail emo loser son Do tego tytuł (W oryginale: "Runaway Max"). Scena z ucieczką z domu była tak cholernie nie potrzebna, że chyba autorka dopisała ją już po skończeniu pisania książki, i wymyśleniu fajnego tytułu, żeby treść jakkolwiek do niego pasowała. Przynajmniej takie miałem wrażenie czytając ostatnie ¼ książki. Lucas is presented as "nice," but nothing else. We actually get more emotional Mileven stuff in here than Lumax, which I thought was just.... odd. Isn't this about Max? Wouldn't this be a great opportunity to really focus on their relationship? One would think.

PLATONIC MADWHEELER IS SO REAL THOUGH. Max is literally like: now that Mike and I have had our heart-to-heart in the gym we can finally become besties. And Mike is like: haha no :) The way Billy and Steve watched each other made me think that maybe it wasn’t even about me. Or at least, not all of it. They were looking at each other with the kind of fixed stares you only get when it’s personal. No, generalnie była w ona totalnie nie potrzebna. Historia w niej przedstawiona jest dosłownie akcją 2 sezonu Stranger Things, tylko opowiedzianą z perspektywy chyba najnudniejszej postaci z tego sezonu - Max.

Success!

Stranger things (каквато съм аз) - книгата проследява изтощителния мисловен процес в главата на мъжкараната Макс Мейфийлд от пристигането ѝ в Хокинс през събитията, развили се във втори сезон, без обаче да застъпва интересните места. Вместо това ще се убедите що за изрод е Били и защо не заслужава симпатиите на публиката. But I did like the writing in here, middle-grade as it was, and the greater emphasis given to Max's choices in season 2. It made me crave a sequel book about Max across seasons 3 and 4. love that Max just does not question the Dustin x Steve friendship... she's like 'ah yes how totally normal that this seventeen-year-old dude spends his Saturday afternoon hanging out with a couple of kids on a junkyard playing monster hunters' Then Steve was in front of me, shoving me out of the way, squaring up with the bat like he'd face down the whole world and take a chunk out of it before he let anything get to us. This is a book based on the television program. This book coincides with season two of the television series. It tells events from the side of Max. It also shows events in her life before she comes to live in Hawkins. This book is basically a character book for Max that fleshes out her character.
