Solo (quarter 2)


My book was called “Solo” by Kwame Alexander. I liked it a lot, It was a really good book. There was a lot of drama happening throughout the story. It was in a poem looking form but it was like a normal book, the same story, it goes smoothly, just like you’re reading a normal book. But it looks like a poem. There’s 457 pages in the book, but i think the reason it has so many pages is because it’s set up in a poem sort of way. But the book goes by really fast if you’re reading everyday. It took me about 1 or almost 2 weeks to finish it.

 The book was about a boy he was 18 Years old his name is Blake. He grew up with a father who was a drug addict and a alcoholic, his mother passed away when he was little. So it was just him and his sister storm growing up. He has a girlfriend but something crazy happens, read to find out!!! Later in the book he finds out about a family secret, it’s a really big deal. It’s basically what makes the book so good. So if you want to find out that secret you’re going to have to read the book to find out. What makes the book so different from other is, you can relate to it. What I mean is your mother could’ve passed away when you were little or you had to grow up with an alcoholic as a father. It could be relatable to anyone, and that’s what makes me like it even more.

There’s a lot of drama throughout the book. But that’s what makes it so good. It makes you want to see what’s going to happen to Blake or to everyone else is the story. I really recommend it, especially if you like drama and poems. It’s easier to read too. There’s nothing really to say about the book, it’s just so good and it’s, just you need to read it to understand how good it is. For me I rate it a 10/10. It was that good and I’m really picky when it comes to reading books.

Also there’s a sad ending which you really need to know so you HAVE to read the book to find out.
