I didn’t get on very much with Butter as a character. Let’s get the thing I didn’t like out of the way first because I think if I left it to the end, it’d overshadow the really good points the book has. But what happens when his New Year’s deadline gets closer? Suddenly he’s hugely popular and his website is getting masses of hits a day. Furious that someone is spreading round the wrong story about how he got his nickname, Butter decides he’s had enough and posts a link to his website, where he promises, on New Year’s Eve, to eat himself to death in front of a live web camera. Then one day he sees a post on his high school class page that says he got his nickname for eating a stick of butter in one sitting. He’s the kid who has to rethink sitting on plastic chairs in case they’re not up to his bulk, who requires extra large seating and a customer made desk in class.
