When I read my book I always look forward to something interesting to know because Lloyd and LeAlan both have their views on what they see in their neighborhood. This novel affects my views on people that live in bad neighborhoods, I’m learning that it’s apart of their life. You can’t just judge someone off of where they come from and I know because sometimes I do that to people. Even though it makes me mad that Lloyd and LeAlan have to see all that negativity in their neighborhood because they both are two smart for that. This book really affect me by making me think like what if I was in their shoes how would I be and what my family will be doing, it’s really good because it takes you out of you comfort zone.


My book is already good because it has a meaning to it and not only that it gives you characters that you may never thought would have a name like that. I feel that I would have tried to change how they described the neighborhood because it was very good in detail but it kind of seemed depressing because you just can vision how it looked. But the author really went into depth writing this because they didn’t hold anything back they just gave it to us raw. Also the pictures I would have changed because I would have wanted them in color so the picture can really stand out. But the book is very good and the details are so on point it makes me want to step my writing game up.


I relate to both of my characters because I only know what it’s like to live in a neighborhood similar to theirs because I grew up in one like that, but it just wasn’t that crazy like theirs. The author’s writing style is very good, they know how to make you vision scenes in the book and that’s good because no one wants to just read a dull book that you can’t vision. Our America get rated 10 from me and two thumbs up if that’s possible to do, because I’ve read good books but this one is similar to my life and that’s good when you can relate a book to your life. If I had to explain is book I would say if you know about the south side where the Ida B. Wells were you have to read this book and you never know you might know some of the people. But I would just want to tell people that it’s about two boys that live in the Wells and they take you on a journey of what the see in their neighborhood, and also with interviews from family and local people around the neighborhood to voice how they feel about their neighborhood.
