Book Review: "Rule of the Bone" By: Russell Banks
Summary: 5 Stars

There was a boy by the name of Chappie Dorset. He lived in a small town outside New York, with his harping mother and step-father. His parents abused him, and not surprisingly he manages to get kicked out of the house while still being in Elementary School. It was easy to follow the txt in the book, the language that was often used is too extreme but it lets you see what really happens when something like this takes place. This kind of an issue is taking place all over the world in our society, and we need to stop and think of how we can change to make things easier. I believe that kids need a role model to look up to, and someone there for you in your life. Chappie never had that experience so therefore he went off on his own and had no responsibility, Mom and step-dad were never there to care too much. So then Chappie meets some of his friends and a motorcycle gang and starts dealing drugs and getting himself into trouble.

I learned that you need to respect someone if they want to talk to you, if they need advice at least hear them out and be someone they can trust and count on in time of need. I really to reccommend this book to anyone, you never know what's it's like until you've had the experience.
