School Project

I really enjoyed this book because it was very interesting,you never knew what was going to happen from one page to the next. This is also a very good book for young adults because it shows that this can happen to anyone that is not careful with choices. Matt had alot of time to think about the crime he did and had alot of regrets from the very first time he walked in prison.After that he was no longer Matt Devon, he was K763921.Before Matt went to prison he was a big star for his high school football team. He loved football. After he got out of prison he went on to college to play football in college which led to the Canadian football team. He had to make a decision whether to play in the National Football League or the Candadian Football League but that choice he did not make. In the end he was a star but his bad decisions made him take "The Long Way Around".
