    I read the book what Happened to Cass McBride. It was a very good book that keeps you on your toes. What I liked most about it though was that you would never expect what happens in the end of the story. I also like that the main character who stayed strong through the whole book and it teaches people who read this, that just when you think it’s over, it’s really not. This is one of my favorite books that I have read.…

    Hope Solo My Story By Hope Solo, was written to entertain the reader. The main purpose of this book was to get Hope’s story out there so she sounds like a mean person with no feelings. Hope Said some things that were rude about one of her teammates because she wasn't started in an important game. Hope had a meltdown and he could be one of the reasons she wrote this book.

As I read through “A Brother’s Murder,” I realize Blake just didn’t have the courage the narrator had to move to a completely different state and leave his old life behind. Understandably, Blake was intimidated by the rest of the world and realized he could prove his manhood and courage by staying in Chester and proving himself. Culturally, I realized the different attitudes people have to different…
