Well, I’m not sure if we will have school tomorrow or not,
but I thought I’d share my opinion about my first outside reading book. I read Anyone Can Dream: From Mud Hut In Kenya to
Ranch House on San Francisco Bay by Philip M. Makau. Honestly, this book
was not what I expected at all. I think it was trying way too hard to help the
reader create an image of what is going on in that specific chapter. It was so
descriptive. It didn't take that long for me to lose interest in it. For
example, I’m pretty sure it took about two pages just to explain what kind of
clothes he wears every day. To top it off, the book isn't even that long. It’s
only 195 pages.
This was not the best novel that I
have read. But the good news is that I got it over with. Now I’m excited to
read my second book: Not Without Laughter
by Langston Hughes. I’m a fan of his poetry, so I was really glad that I chose
the topic of racial inequality because I get to his first and only novel. I am
certain that I will enjoy this book as well as my third book better than my
first one.
