The Blindside
The Blindside is a book about football and a kid named Micheal Oher. He is a 6'6, 345 lb. 16 year old. He grew up in West Memphis, the black part of Memphis. His mom is addicted to crack and his dad is dead. His mom wanted him to go to a christian school instead of a public school. So he goes to a school in East Memphis, the white part of Memphis. When I read this book the voice inside my head is saying, "wow, he is big!" or "my mom so copied that line from this book" (My mom read this book.) I would rate this book a 9 just because I'm not very far in it.
