The Young Landlords By Xiomara
The Young Landlords is written by Walter Dean Myers. Paul Williams is the main character in the story as well as the Action Group. The Action Group; Gloria, Bubba, Dean, Paul, Omar. The setting of the book is in New York, Central Park, In a old and lonely apartment. Still, when Paul Williams and the Action Group got the Arms for one dollar, they thought they had it made. But things get out of hand, It wasn't as easy as they thought it would be.
While reading this novel, it was easy to connect to Paul and the Action Group because they had to look over something that was too much for them. The building is something that not some high school kids should be taking care of. When I was younger I had to take care of a little girl, and I don't know what do. But I thought I would do it, like that I would know what is doing, that I would get through it by myself even though I knew that I was not suppose to be taking care of a little kid when I was a kid as well.
I thought this book was okay in a way. It's not really the type of books I read. But besides that it was a very interesting book. Sometimes I wouldn't understand what was happening, because the author would switch the seasons in one part so I would get confused. I didn't like the way the characters would smetimes talk about each other, or they wouldn't work together in fixing the building. I really didn't understand what the theme of the book was nor the point in this book was. Personally I wouldn't recommend this book to my friends. I think if I was in the place and they had sold me a building for a dollor I think I wouldn't take the chance of taking it. I would sell it to someone that can have it.
