Summary: The Days I Lost Reading This Book
Review: When your think of going clubbing with your friends, you usually don't think your routine would be any different than any other Saturday night. Vinny and Jasper were doing what they usually do on a Saturday night and unexpectantly, things went terribly wrong. Vinny and Jasper were swarmed by a enormous crowd on their way home. Jasper turned around, only to find that Vinny was nowhere to be found. Jasper and his friends became very worried but decided to go to the place they went to when they were drunk. When they found that Vinny wasn't there, they became even more worried. They notified Vinnys mother and she notifies his girlfriend. The worrying only gets worse. Vinny didn't come home Saturday night and didn't show up for work on Sunday, That's not like Vinny, so everyone was really puzzled as to what might have happened. Later on Sunday night, Vinny returns home and still thinks it's Saturday. he doesn't know what has happened to him and he is very confused. If I told you the rest, I would be giving away the ending, so I guess that just means your have to read the book. Personally, I think the book was boring and went very slowly. If the pacing would have been faster, the book would have kept my attention and I would have liked it more.
