book+review

The book Son of the Mob, by Gordon Korman is a great book that will have you on the edge of your seat no matter who you are. Gordon Korman did a great job at making you feel like you are actually there living the book and going through the characters emotions.

The best thing about the book, Son of the Mob is the intense suspense that it has during its highpoints. Although at rare times it has you wanting something exciting to happen I would still strongly recommend this book to anyone. The main character, Vince Luca is the son of a mobster and is just trying to be a normal teen. His parents lied to him and told him that his father worked for a vending machine business. He eventually found out what his real job was.

This is a book that anyone should read if they like a good suspenseful story. You will follow Vince in his social life as well as his love life. And through the ups and downs of adolescence. The one thing I didn’t like about it is that the author should’ve put more action. You have to be patient to get through it but it all pays off. Son of the Mob is definitely in the top five books I’ve ever read. Books rarely interest me so, me liking it is saying a lot.

Gordon korman is one of the best authors alive in my opinion. He writes a lot of books for young adults. I may even like this book better than Holes. I’ll definitely read another one of his books, and so should you.
