50 Cent From Pieces To Weight


I really think this book is a must read for everyone. Curtis Jackson (50 Cent) wrote this book on his life on how he went from the ghetto to starlight. Its not just about his rap stories or anything like that. He explains ow he bought his first land roover for 28 thousand dollars by selling crack. Its just unbelieveable to be in the situations he was in and he was strong enough to make it threw them. By reading this book it shows you how to over come the toughest problems in your life and not to give up and Never accept defeat. I give this book a 10 out of 10.

Rash


I feel that Rash is a book for anyone who is interested in football or in the future stories. I enjoyed this book very much, this book was a fast read and a very interesting one at that. Rash is about a boy named Bo and his WindO friend Bork, and how Bo started a big rash that spreaded through his whole school cause a panic.
This book is based in 2074 where allot of things have changed. For example: French Fries are illegal, Football has been banned, and Running isn't just for your health anymore. People get in trouble very easy in this time. When people get into trouble they end up in these jails that aren't really like jails. I feel that it is more like work factories with cells for beds. Bo's dad and brother both are in these work factories. His dad works in a shrimp factory and his brother is on a road fixing crew in Nebraska. Bo also ends up in a Jail factory for getting in a fight with a guy that was trying to steel his girl from him. Now he has no girl and is stuck making pizzas everyday in jail. Which he leaves his Mom and Grandpa at home. Bo's grandpa is stuck in the past. He sits and complains about everything all the time and he always would start out by saying back in the day.....!! Drinking is illegal but Bo's grandpa makes his own and drinks it all day.
In this book i feel i learned allot of lessons as in don't take things for granted. I also learned that family is a strong thing and as long as you keep it together it will stay strong. But when they fall apart they become week. If you are wanting to read this fine book go to https://www.betterworld.com/Rash-id-0689869045-c-3408.aspx where you can buy it for pretty cheep.
