Second Book Report, Pt. 1

I am reading the book Jack’s Run by Roland Smith, who also wrote Thunder Cave, which was my last book report. Huh. Imagine that. Okay, moving on. One of the main things I like about this book so far is that it is really easy to follow the plot. Not easy in that you know what’s coming, but it takes some pretty drastic measures not to realize what’s going on. Jack (the main character) has already had to make some pretty big choices, and I’m only about halfway through the book. He has to figure out whether to try and escape, but he decides not to for fear of harm coming to his sister. I agree with that choice because I would definitely not want either my sister or my brother to be hurt, even though the roles would be reversed because they’re the bigger ones. Jack is a little bit like me in the fact that he’s around my age, but that’s about it. He has metal rods in his legs from when they were broken, so he doesn’t run, but he lifts weights a lot. But I like to run in sports, and weights are not my favorite, so we’re pretty different there. I think others would like this book if they read the rest of the series, because otherwise it might not make sense. People who like science and boring books would not really like it. So far I’ve learned a little bit more of how the Witness Protection Program works because Jack is involved because of his dad.
