Kære fucking dagbog

by Henrik List

Kære fucking dagbog er en roman, der knitrer af rastløst ungdomsliv, postmoderne weltschmertz og diffus sms- og chat-kommunikation - baseret på en gruppe tidligere emo- og punkpigers rigtige dagbøger og oplevelser.

Fortalt af 15-årige Kat i hendes eget fragmenterede, slangprægede sprog er dette historien om hverdagen med en enlig mor, en psykisk syg far og en lillebror, som hun meget mod sin vilje deler værelse med.

Historien om veninder, cutting, mobning, stoffer, moderæs, piercinger og lykkepiller. Om følelserne for en smuk dreng, der måske er ... gay? Om et nyt ungdomsoprør i sort og pink; om et pigeunivers, der rummer både popkultur og punkattitude; om kampen for at bevare det elskede fristed 'Ungeren' på Jagtvej 69 op til politiets rydning den 1. marts 2007.

Kære fucking dagbog er en samtidsroman for både unge og voksne, der også tegner et skarpt portræt af forældrene til 00'ernes emo'er, punkere, gothere og scene-kids: en generation med bristede succesdrømme og manglende autoritet over for deres rebelske børn.

En ganske okay dagbogsroman fra det alternative miljø i KBH anno 2006/7, der kulminerer med rydningen af Ungeren.
Fin skildring af en 15-årig emo-pige/ex-punker (kiddiepunker). Men omkring 70-100 sider for lang; den kunne have stået meget skarpere. Når det er sagt, så kan det jo være svært at stoppe, når man er i en godt flow...

I really loved this book...
I've read it five times, and as I evolve, so does my view of this book.

Yes, the Narrator Kat can be kinda annoying, and she has a lot of self pity, and the language is kinda special...

But this book describes exactly what an Emo is, how they think and act, and it gives a diffrent view of the hole "ungdomshus" situation, a point of view you don't often see.

When I first read it, I discovered that I was not alone in my thoughts, there were actually a whole group of people thinking the same way.
And despite her self pity, I love Kat.

And I love how it's written, and how the language works, despite the bad grammar, cause young people write and talk like that.
So with this book, you're jumping straight into the head of an emo, it's honest, and it goes under my skin.

This remain on of my favorite books!

It has been years since I read this book, which is why I'm not rating this one. I roughly recall my opinion of the book, because of the bad things I had to say about it.

The story line almost caused me to give up, the protagonist was annoying, and I wanted to throw a few of my old Danish notebooks from first grade after her, so she could learn a little. In other words, I really disliked the writing.

Plus, it just didn't seem realistic at all. Call me picky, but I want my realistic fiction to be realistic. This was the first book I read from the author, and I unfortunately haven't gotten the nerve to pick up another of his works yet.

When i was twelve i would have told snybody and anything that this book, was my everything. I loved it and i will admit it is very well written and i even wrote to the Auther and told him, how much i loved hos book.
Now however i have grown up a bit, and the book is still somewhat good, but it seems slightly childish. I still read it on occasion, and i have it one my irl bookshelf but i no longer worship it. It is definitively good and somewhat relateable, but if you dont dream of being emo and having the life of a troubled teenager and a single mom, this book is probably not fot you.

Jeg bryder mig muligvis ikke om den, fordi jeg ikke er målgruppen - men sproget irriterede mig (stavefejl i pigernes breve til hinanden og My Space tekst virker bare malplaceret og belastende fremfor at understrege en pointe) og Kat var bare for irriterende i længden. Hun har virkelig ondt af sig selv og kan ikke se ud over sin egen næsetip.
For mig fejlede bogens dybe emner fuldstændig fordi jeg brugte for meget tid på at være træt af alt det negative - desværre!

Positive: Described a lot of the problems and conflicts that teenagers struggle with nowadays. Interesting story.

Negative: The slang and sms text form should show the reader that this was written by a teenager but instead it was just really annoying.

Jeg kan rigtig godt lide Kære Fucking Dagbog, og man kan ikke mærke det er en mand der har skrevet den.

Sproget gjorde dog, at den blev læst i små doser, derfor tog det noget tid.

Jeg kan rigtig godt lide Kats udvikling, og det er lidt sørgeligt at den sluttede på det tidspunkt den gjorde

I'll give the morality five stars. I liked it.

Bogens, hvad siger man...? Essens?... Var faktisk rigtig god, men jeg blev ret træt af Kat, fordi hun er så fucked-up.

I read it ages ago, but I think I really liked it, at that time. Not today!

Jeg læste den for 4-5 år siden og det eneste jeg husker er at jeg virkelig elskede den, så den skal nok snart genlæses ;)
