free choice week 8

I have decided that I am going to read Crank for my book of choice for the second part of this semister.  Last year I started to read this book but never could get into it enough to even get through the first chapter.  I think the way that the book is printed really distracts me from what I am reading about.  However I know that I would enjoy this book so I am going to get over the way the book is printed and look at it as simply a challenge.  I truely enjoy reading about kids and teens that have a confused home lives.  I know everyone has challenges that they face during their years of growing up and I find it inspiring to read about them.  A lot of the times the events that happen to the kids in the books we read about are extremely dramatic and worst case situations.  But, I think it makes me realize that even though my life isn't perfect and sometimes I feel like nothing goes my way I can step back and see that there are so many people that have it worse off than I do.  I love to read inspiring books, that is why I am determined to read Crank!
