Book Report On Gym Candy By Carl Deuker

The book, Gym Candy, was written by Carl Deuker. Although as little as I read, he is my favorite author of all time. I really enjoyed reading this book for a few reasons. For one, I could relate to what Mick, the main character, was going through. Throughout Gym Candy, I really enjoyed how intense the story would become at times. I also greatly enjoyed how well Carl Deuker explained certain proportions of the story with great emotion. By reading Gym Candy, I have learned a few life lessons, and this book has made an impact on how I view future occasions. As an athlete, I could relate to Mick in some aspects. I can connect because, Mick wanted to be the best football player he could possibly be, and I want to be the best player for any sport

Without emotion, Gym Candy would have been a terrible book in my eyes. The emotion of the book made me feel all sorts of different ways, because of all the mood swings through the book. I would feel bad for Mick at times, because of what has happened physically to his body. The things he had to go through with what people saw on his body would be tough for anyone to deal with, and Deuker did a great job of describing the emotion Mick felt when he was going through his physical changes. But I also thought that what has physically happened to Mick, was well deserved, and I was glad that it had happened to a certain amount. Mick was the one that had the idea of all this, and he knew what could happen physically and mentally to his body. I was tremendously impressed by the way Deuker used emotion throughout Gym

I truly enjoy how I can read one of his books and when I have finished, I have learned some type of life lesson to obtain in my future. In my opinion, I think involving a life lesson in books is a great idea. Involving life lessons in a book can change people's life, and how they view certain aspects of many different things. Teaching a reader a life lesson in a book, makes the book well granted, and makes me feel like I received more out of the book than just reading it. One lesson I learned was drug abuse. The entire conflict of Gym Candy revolves around drug abuse. I felt like Carl Deuker was trying to teach me how drugs will dig people down so far that you won't be able to expect what could happen. They could eventually harm themselves or even others. He showed how rough life would be if you were to get involved with drugs. I leaned what would happen if you were to get caught up with the drug massacres, and none of the benefits of the drugs were worth it in the long
