Great Book

I read this book for a literary class I am taking in high school. I thought the book was very interesting. I liked how the book taught lessons on life. It shows how anti-semitism can hurt people no matter what kind of anti-semitism they use to hurt others. I thought this book was good for someone who might be studying anti-semitism or the Holocaust to see how even many years after the war people are still struggling for equal treatment. I hope that other people find this book as interesting as I found it. Not only will this book serve as a teaching tool, but it was interesting to read and kept my attention the whole time. I would definately recommend this book to all age levels even though it is recommended for a younger genre of kids.

Great Book

This book has non-stop action. It moves in a fast paced way though the different parts of Zack's life as he deals with sports, relationships, and the hate crime. I never found myself bored while reading and the first person point of view was very interesting to read. Zack was very brave and it was interesting to go on his adventures. The characters reacted in a very beleivible way and seemed very real. The ending was a happy one and there is a good twist at the end.
