A Good Book

Shadow of the Dragon I would give the book a ten out of ten because it really showed a lot of emotion and it was very dramatic. The book is about a young boy named Danny and his cousin Sang Lee. Danny and Sang Lee both watch out for each other and they really care. Sang Lee is trying to learn some English because he had never spoken very much back at home. When Sang Lee starts to become friends with the wrong group of people Danny and the rest of the family become worried. Eventually Sang Lee joins the gang, which his family is offended of. A lot of things happen to Danny when he is trying to stop Sang Lee.

teen reader

This book is very very good. It does contain some racial comments and actions but its not so evil you'll be crying at night. I read a review that said "there was too many conficts going on in this book and that isn't good." But i like a book with many conflicts which this book has. Please read this book for it is very good.

What a Wonderful Novel!!!!!!!!!!!

Danny Vo is a 16-year-old caught between wanting to be an American and being Vietnamese. This novel is filled with love, action, and emotions that will carry you into his world. Sang Le is Danny's cousin, he is 18 and just out of a refugee camp in China. He is trying to fit in with the help of his cousin. This book was one of many books I have read in the bast year, but it was the best of them all. It thrilled me because of the awesome suspense. I READ THE WHOLE THING IN ONE-DAY!
