Why I Fight

The book that i read was Why I Fight by J. Adams Oaks. I think so far that this book is really good. This is a very exciting book about a boy named Wyatt Reeves who is adopted by his uncle Spade. As his Uncle already has a bad problem with gambling and when he finds out that Wyatt is a very talented street fighter he gets money hungry. What I love about this book so far is that it is very intense and you could almost feel every punch that was thrown. The author used a really good vocabulary too. So you could get a really good picture in your head of what is going on in the book. This book is a perfect size it's not too long and it's not too short. I think that this is a very good book for sports fans and people who like a lot of action.

From Pieces To Weight

I read the book From Pieces To Weight by 50 cent. This book is about Curtis who grows up in Queens, who's mother is a drug dealer and has been a drug dealer for a while. It does not take Curtis long at all to realize that his mother is selling drugs. Curtis has a passion with rapping since he was a kid. This slowed him down on everything he did though when his mother was killed. He then started to take after his mother in the selling drugs game. Before you know it he gets kicked out of school cause he went to school with the wrong shoes which had crack in them. He sells drugs for a while, but when he gets older he ends up becoming a rapper. This book basically just shows from when he was a kid and how he aged and what choices he made during his life. I loved this book so much, this is the only book I actually enjoyed reading and would read on my free time. The length is not to long and not to short, basically it is perfect. I recommend this book to people who like hip-hop music and the culture around hip-hop music.

The Brooklyn Nine

The Brooklyn Nine By Alan Gratz is based on a 9 inning baseball game. This baseball gets passed on all through the book. Louis Schneider who carries his father's souvenir baseball into battle during the Civil War and ends up trading it to a wounded rebel for a Louisville Slugger baseball bat. In 1845 there is a ten year old German Jewish immigrant who meets Alexander Cartwright and The New York Knickerbockers. In 2002 his 14 year old grandson has this bat and this bat has a long history too it. I don't even care for baseball that much and I really liked this book.
I think that this book would appeal to boys a lot more than to girls unless the girl likes sports a lot. I think that this book doesn't just appeal to teens but could appeal to adults too. I didn't think that this book was to long for me it was a perfect amount of pages. This book also has a lot to do with modern history.
