Book Reviews of Random Family: Love, Drugs, Trouble, and Coming of Age in the Bronx

Book Review: "Absolutely, AMAZING/AWESOME!"
Summary: 5 Stars

This awesome book, which is Adrian Nicole LeBlanc's "first" book is mesmerizing! Even after I put the book down as I finished it all I could tell my sister was that the book was "Awesome." I was left in a way shaken about how great it was and how grateful I should be, but how grateful I am not. Though I understood their situations (I was never familiar with it in my own life but I can still understand for reasons I can't write down here) I was left astonished and touched. It is not only mesmerizing because of the book itself; but because this was her first book and she did an outstanding job. This book has touched my heart and I can NEVER forget about the characters and the sadness that wafted in and out of this book. It will always be with me and for that I am thankful. It also reminds me to be thankful for the life that I have, and to never again wish that I had a life without boundaries. Non-the-less I wish I had the opportunity to meet these outstanding people, but even if I did met them I wouldn't know what to say. EVERYONE MUST READ THIS. Everyone. So pick it up today. You won't regret it, nor be able to put it down. It is now my most favorite book, and I will continue to read it over and over again, until it's etched in my heart like an old friend and a memory of which I'll never forget...Nor want to.
