I had read until chapter 11. After the trip to Hastings he faced up to the things that happened/are going to happen. After a while, Alicia and Sam told their parents about the baby. They had to go to a childbirth-prepartion-track. But there were only old people, so Alicia and Sam didn't fit in at all. The people had suits on and were looking at them very arrogant and Sam and Alicia didn't feel comfortable, thus they decided to not go there one more time. But I think, that's a big problem in our community too. The "older" people are discriminating young parents only because of their own ideal. Therefore, it's even more difficult to feel accepted in the community for young mothers or fathers.
Now, it's the moment when Sam tells his mother, that he's going to live at Alicia's house now. But Sam's mother doesn't agree with that, what was surprising, because she should know how tough it would be for Alicia to educate a child in this age.
What I like the most about "Slam" is, that this story could nearly happen to all of us. It's easy identify with the characters. I can't remember anything that annoyed me.
