Review: I think this book is for people my age 15 and over.You really have to read this book to really understand this book.This book explains real life that is going on today.So many people die from being in gangs.Most people that are in gangs die,go to jail,are moved far from where they use to live.I like Soulfire because it explains how people survive in today's world.

Summary: I thought the book was ok.
Review: I thought the book was ok but if I had to give it a rating I would give it 2 1/2 stars.. My opinion is that I would not recommend this book for little kids because of the language. My favorite character is Marcus because he was a vital part in this book and I like his rebellious attitude My least favorite character was Todd because he whines about every thing that's why I don't like him.

Rating:
Summary: A good book for reluctant readers, especially boys
Review: Soulfire is a coming of age novel featuring young African American boys in Denver. Narrated by Todd Williams who is trying to see how he fits in, the book details a complex web of relationships between parents, extended family, the church, school, and surrounding community. I liked much about the book; its realism, its honesty, and the complicated culture captured in a slim little book. I had a bit of a problem with the language which is at times a bit much for a book done with a whole class. It's probably better as a personal reading book, or as done in a small group.

Summary: This book was very interesting.
Review: Soulfire takes place Denver Colorado. Basically the book is about Gangsters. I especially liked Todd Williams because he doesn't pick fights. I could not relate to the book for several reasons because I'm not in a gang. I really didn't like Zeke because he always got in fights. One thing I'll probably remember is when Tommy got shot because he was brave. Overall I'd give this book a +8 out of a 10. I would recommend this book to parents because it has many swears.

Summary: Somebody's always getting shot
Review: Todd Williams, a 16 year old teenager who lives in the Denver projects goes through the hardships of life, while his friend Ezekiel is desperately trying to change the world. Because of thegangs and the violence in the neighborhood, Todd and his friends have to be careful and watch their back wherever they go. If the violence in his neighborhood isn;t enough, he doesn't have the greatest family either. His father isn't around, his brother Marcus is in a gang, and his older brother tries to control everyone around him.
While falling in love, stopping fights, and trying to build a relationship with his family, he has to live in a place where his word doesn't really matter.
I enjoyed this book because it's about the reality of the world today. This book isn't fake. I would definitely recommend this book, especially to young adults who are looking for a good read.
