The Young Landlords by Luke
In the book The Young Landlords there were a lot of good and bad things happening to the action group. The action group was a group of people that did things together. It was like a group of friends. In the story Paul, the main character, pays for an apartment for $1.00! Now they have to try to keep the apartment open and from going under.
In this book I connected to Paul and all his friends a lot. I have never lived or been in the hood or a slum, but my life is like theirs in many ways. When I was ten I had to take care of my house for 2 days. I had to clean and do a lot of things. Like Paul, I got my friends to help me do it. Unlike Paul, I didn't have to be scared of people that might shoot at me.
I thought this book is better for an older person, like people in high school. This is because I can't really understand what it would be like in a slum. I could understand the character's life easily because I have had a problem that I couldn't do alone so I needed my friends and if they quit I don't quit on them.If I was going to rate this book I would rate it a 6/10. This is because it would get boring at times but it was good in small parts of the book. The message in the book was don't give up and stay by your friends. He didn't give up on the apartment.
Readers:
What would you do if you owned a apartment and you have nothing to do with it?
Do you know what it is like to live in the slums of New York City?

Sounds interesting. But i don't know if I would read it
ReplyDeleteIf I owned a apartment and I had nothing to do with it i would make it into a really cool house, and also decorate it how I wanted it to look like. But it doesn't really sound like a book I would read it was interesting but just didn't catch my eye.
ReplyDeleteYou had a good summary but it could say more the main problem and about more of the characters. It also could have said more about the living conditions and setting. Your summary was good explained a lot but it could have had more. Your connection were excellent I thought the connected to it really good. Your review explained a lot about the book and what you thught about the book. It was good over all.
