The rule of the bone

One of the blogs in this blog project has to be about the book "Rule of the Bone" which we are reading in English class. 

Basically it's about this kid Chappie trying to find out who he is. He gets kicked out from his home by his mom and stepfather and lives with different people under different circumstances, though all of them are more or less illegal, including drugs and stealing. 

I wouldn't say it's a good book, but it's better than the other ones we have read in school. I love Russel Banks writing, he really makes Chappies reasoning as a kid in that age, or a little younger, and though the language is good he repeats some words like: "plus", "on account"," excellent", "that's cool", which gives him a very specific character.
