Yummy by G.Neri

  Have you ever thought that you had friends that cared about you so much and never thought that they would betray you? This book I want to talk about is Yummy by Greg Neri. This book is all about a boy named Robert Sandifer also known as Yummy. People call him Yummy because he loves to eat sweets and candy. Yummy grew up in Chicago. Yummy was a nice boy but ever since he joined the gang called the black disciples, Every thing went wrong for the south side shorty. Yummy joined the gang because his brother Randy was in it But Yummy wanted to prove him self worthy so he try to shoot the bully that was picking on him in school. But when he let go of that trigger he shot a girl named Shavon Dean.Being the cause of Shavon's Dean Death attracted a lot of attention to the gang. So then one day he was waiting for his grandma to pick him up but he went to see the gangs leader named monster. After he met monster Randy decided not to join the gang and drop out before he turns out to be like Yummy. The lesson learned in the story is not to be a follower and not a leader. And don't make bad decisions or you'll regret later.

 I really thought that this book was awesome and I really liked this book because of its vivid details throughout the book. Another reason why I liked this book is because of its action through the beginning all the way to the end of the book. I also liked it because its easy to stay on topic and not be lost or confused during the story. One more thing that I liked about the story Yummy is that the book is a page turner. You'll keep on wanting to read. I think that this book is the best book I read this year.
