Home Boy Review

I really liked this book a lot. If I could rate this book from a 1-10 I would rate it a 10. I liked it so much because it is more realistic than most other books that I have read. It has probably even happened before real life. This book reminds me of another book I have read and liked a lot too. "The Outsiders" by S.E. Hinton, also "Tex" by S.E. Hinton. They both have to do with gangs, and people getting into big trouble with the police and the government. I would also rate those two books with a 10. They both are so realistic. It is full of action, even when he is having a flashback. It always wants you to red further. It has great on the edge of your seat suspense. I also liked this a lot because it goes into great detail about everything he does in his dream, and when he was in real life. He tells physical and personality traits about most of the characters. It also tells you details about their roll in this story.
