The Young Landlords by Joe
The Young Landlords by Walter Dean Myers
In The Young Landlords friends in the ghetto get a apartment to take as their own. Paul the main character finds out that his friend Chris has been stealing stereos. Now Paul, Gloria, Bubba, and more are trying to prove him innocent.
While they have an apartment they have to deal with their problems,such as crazy people in there that no one could deal with. This story could happen except for owning a apartment at a young age. But I can relate to the problems they face because sometimes I have to bail my friends out of trouble. This reminds me of other people that do bad things that I rarely see around here.
This book was pretty interesting. I honestly couldn't stop reading it during the class period. I just wanted it done with until I came to a terrible ending. It wasn't the ending I was looking for it just ended at a point where they could have done better. It give this book mostly a 5/10 it wasn't that great of a book. This book is half way to being awful I kind of wish I read Stuck In Neutral. But all in all this book wasn't very bad. It is just something I would never read again. The book is just not what I was expecting I was thinking it would be a little more law breaking group of kids other than Chris. They were not very law breaking kinds of people but they did run into trouble a couple of times. But they needed more exictment in the story.It just was everything i was expacting I knew it would happen so there was no twist. I wouldn't suggest reading it because it wasn't good like I said before. But that is just my opinion on this book other wise the author did a great job.
Readers:

Have you ever done something you might later regret?

ReplyDeleteit was good overall. The summary could have explained more about why the charters did defend there freind and why was he stealing. The connections were good and your matt
ReplyDeleteI like this summary but in my opinon it could of explained more about the characters i liked the connections riley
ReplyDeleteYour summary could have explained more about the main problem and the setting. Why did the characters do what they did could have been explained. You should add more to your summary. Your connections were good the explained a lot. Your reivew was good too it said a lot I out your overall opinion on the book your paragraphs were good over all. You should just add more to the summary.
ReplyDeleteThis summary was a sloth
ReplyDeleteFirst off the summary was short. Althought it was down to the point which is good. This is the type of book I would read. The book I had to read for language arts is the same author. You said you had a disappointing ending. It seems all waler dean Myers book do. Well anyways keep up the good work.
