Review of The Hate U Give by Will Gravlin

-

 


        The Hate U Give by Angie Thomas is an amazing book. It makes the reader really feel for the characters. The descriptions of things are very detailed and have a lot of imagery even in places the reader may not want to hear all the details. This makes the reader feel like they are in the book because it gives you all the details that you would have if you were experiencing it. Throughout the book there are many places where I felt the same things that the narrator described. In my opinion, the best books always make you feel like you're a part of them and this book does this perfectly.

        It also has an amazing plot with plenty of twists in the story line from the beginning to the end. Whenever it seems like the book might be going down a path that could lead to the end a whole new problem arises and it sends the book in a whole new direction. This comes at a price of being very long. It is 423 pages and I typically like medium length books from around 200-300 pages but although this book is long than I typically like I still enjoyed this book.

Overall I would give this book a 9. It is very good and has everything I like my books to have. The only reason it is not a 10 is the length. I love all the twists in the story line but at some points of the book it feels a little forced and like it could have been shorter and would have been even better. Other than those moments in the book, it felt like a very complete novel and this is why I am giving it a near perfect score.

    Hi Will, I also read this book and also really enjoyed it. I agree on how the narration makes you experience the powerful story through details. I would agree on your rating of 9 as it took 50-100 pages for me to get hooked on it as the first few chapters go in excessive detail imo. Great review!

The promise was that he would forget his old life and stop stealing. But one day him and a few other common animals raid the farms of human neighbors, Boggis, Bruce, and Bean. Because of this quick turn of events he ends up putting the lives of his friends and family in danger as they were to be hunted by these three farmers. Throughout the story, his family is forced to constantly move throughout the underground tunnels that Mr. Foxs' family and other animals create to avoid being killed by these farmers. Mr. Fox has to use his natural instinct and imaginative mind to maneuver and rise above these farmers. This book has action, drama, and suspense. It is an exceptional book that I personally would recommend you read. 9/10

The book follows four teens, Jax, Yas, Spider, and Han who are the four cornerstones of Team JERICHO. The team was widely regarded as the best digital scavenger-hunting team in all of Seattle. They each have their own specialty that they bring to the group. Jax is the puzzler, Yas is the parkourist, Spider is the hacker, and Han is the cartographer. Issues arise when they learn that an oil refinery is being built right in their backyard. Their families are at risk of losing their jobs, their communities, and their homes.
