The Fallen

     I just finished my book the fallen and it was a very well written and exciting book to read. It was basically about how the main character went to high school and was involved in a lot of bad doings. He got in a lot of fights and disrespected a lot of people in the building. His little brother Heuro was shot and killed the year before that is why he moved to this new high school and he hasn't fit in since. He and his boys have been trying to find out who killed Heuro and they have been wanting revenge. They finally find out and they plan to go to his house and shoot his till he dies. He does not have the guts to do it however and tries to stop his friends by telling the cops. No one gets arrested but the leader of his group finds out and he wants to kill him now because he tried to betray him.
     I think the author did a really good job showing how even a kid put in a bad situation can rise to the top and do the right thing. The main character could have gotten revenge but he did the right thing and ended up turning in the leader because the leader was trying to do the wrong thing and he was going to kill the main character. 
     Overall the book was very good and i recommend it to anyone who is interested in these kinds of books and is of the age 14+ maybe 13 if you are very mature. I am excited to read more books by this author.

My Opinion on series books

     Series books, you got to love them and you got to hate them. Everyone has different opinions on them and I'm gonna get to both my sides of opinions, what i like and what i don't like about them. 
     One great things i love about series books is even when one of the books end you know that there will be another one after so you're not really removing the character from you right away. I like being attached to a character for a while so i can eventually know a lot about him. One bad part about that though if you really dislike one of the main characters then you have to deal with them through out the entire series. There is always that moment when you get to the end of a book you really like when you are sad because you don't want to have to start reading a different book. With series you can just look forward to sequel because you know the books will be very similar and you'll enjoy them both.
     One thing that i kind of hate about series books is that whenever a main character is in a life or death situation you know they are gonna live because you know what characters are going to be in the next book which is the one and only downside to series books in my opinion. Also it kind of sucks that you know who will and wont survive because it takes away from some of the big moments and stuff.Overall i really like series books and i plan to continue reading them!
