Summary Of If You Re Reading This By Trent Reedy

497 Words2 Pages

I have read the book If You're Reading This by Trent Reedy. This book would make a great class novel for many reasons. It appeals to boys with the sports and military talk. It also appeals to girls for the love and romance talk that Mike has towards the girl he likes, Isma. This book has a lot of suspense and you just have to read more. I was recommended this book by my brother and i recommend it to most other people. First, the main character in this book is Mike, he lives with his mom and his sister. He used to play football but now his mom don't let him. He gets letters from his dad who has been dead for years. In the letter it stated a goal: “Go for it! Whatever it is you've been wanting to do, give it your best. I know you can do it.” …show more content…

Mike is afraid to ask Isma out because he don't know if she likes him. Then you see problems in the relationship that the average couple does not face. You see the ways that they overcome these issues. How they stay together and love each other.
Next, the book is very suspenseful. Every great book reader loves suspense and this book has a lot of suspense. At the end of every chapter it leaves you with a point to ponder, what is going to happen next? You don't know when Mike is going to get the next letter from his dead father, you don't know what the letter is going to say. You don't know what the next goal, or mission will be. You don't know if he’ll ever find out who is sending the letters. The book leaves you with so many questions each chapter that you must continue reading to find the answers.
On the other hand, it does appeal more to the guys than it does to the female audience. It has many things that would entertain a guy, than a girl. It talks about the football and military, that most girls aren’t into. Although, it is more to the guy audience, the girls will love this book too. Many girls love suspenseful romance, which this book

When I first started reading it, I thought that it was going to be really boring because it was about history. But as I got further along in the book, I realized that it was not just a typical history book. Michael Shaara had written the book in a way so that it was easy for us to experience the American Civil War with the soldiers on the field. The different sections of the book were written so that it was from each individual’s point of view, which I found quite interesting. Michael Shaara approached this book in a different manner and I think it really did the book some justice.

The second reason this book is okay is that the author gives good descriptions of the characters. The author uses dialogue to tell the reader that Jack; Molly’s boyfriend is self-centered and has a real potty mouth. Jack uses profanity a lot to express his feelings for everything in this story. Jack uses this to get his point across and talks to Molly like this in the book.

It follows a brave girl who survives in the most unsurvivable situations, and it’s very inspiring. One of the reasons I love this book is that it’s set in the middle of World War 2. My favorite genre of books is historical fiction, so this book was a good fit for me. It was also very interesting because in most WW2 fiction I’ve read, it takes the perspective of the Jewish people against Hitler, but this takes the perspective of the Lithuanian people against the Soviets. It showed me a different side of the story in WW2 that I didn’t know existed before I read Ashes In The Snow.

The fact that Jonah is adopted has never been a big deal for him, maybe due to his parents always being very open and reassuring about it. To Jonah, life feels normal.

I have read the book “The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants Second summer”. It’s a bok for teenagers that is written by Ann Brashares and got published in 2005. The story is set in the US, mostly in Washington but also in Alabama, and it takes place in the present. The book is written in third person and you get to read a little at a time from each persons perspective. I think it 's good, because then you remember what happened to them later, instead of reading about each person in turn to when it becomes very difficult to understand when things happen.

The book I have chosen to review is Boy 21, a fictional read that is written by Matthew Quick. Quick is a New York Times best-selling author debuting in novels such as The Silver Linings Playbook and Love May Fail. To best describe this book, it is a captivating read that is comforting for the mind, as it canvasses the raw and unflinching life of a high school senior who displays love for basketball and life relationships. Furthermore, set in a troubled Belmont city of Philadelphia, Quick incorporates the presence of mobs and violence which is captivating towards the reader and audience. I was intrigued about how the novel was written through Finley the main protagonist, which was Quick’s childhood perspective of life in Philadelphia and his passion towards basketball.
