Summary: Shadow Boxer
Review: Shadow Boxer by Chris Lynch was a great book for the younger teenage audience. This heartfelt story is about an older brother trying to guide and show his younger brother the way because their father is not around to do it. Their father died several years before from boxing and Monty, the youngest of the two brothers had caught the boxing bug. George, his mother, and the boys uncle Archy do everything they can to get Monty out of the ring. In the end they expose him to the truth to bring him back to reality.
The story takes place in inner city New York and deals with many of the hardships that inner city youth face. The boys are introduced to a 'big brother' because there mom fears it may be the only way to save Monty and that it may do the boys some good. George takes this offensively because it makes him feel as though he has screwed up on raising his younger brother who assumes responsibility for.
I would recommend reading this book because it is an easy read for the high school level and it is a really great book. From the beginning you connect with the characters and really get an understanding for why they are the way they are. As an older brother I really enjoyed seeing how George felt the responsibility for his younger brother and always wanted to protect him.

Summary: Shadow Boxer -- a mystical student from Westchester
Review: Shadow Boxer is a book in my opinion with mixed emotions. I feel that it is mostly a tragic story. It has humor every now and then about little things like an elephant man. In this book, the characters are misled about their father. The kids grow up thinking that their father is one of the best boxers there ever was, but later in the story they find out that he isn't that great of a boxer. I also think that George (one of the main characters) loses a large, important, part of his life growing up being considered as the man of the house. I feel that it was a large weight put on his shoulder at the young age that he has. To me this book is very realistic. The author realy makes the characters come alive, and you can really feel the emotins that author discribes.

Summary: A really good book for young adults.
Review: This book is a good book. It is about a low income family in a low income apartment buildings with a manager that is not to good. It is based on realistic scenes and some fictional scenes. The plot is good because it is realistic. There are two kids whose father died while boxing. Monty, the younges, wants to follow in his fathers footsteps and it almost tears the family apart. It is a fast-reading book and I reccomend it to kids about 10 years old and over, because of the rare but harsh cursing. I give this book 10 thumbs up. Next time you are in Amazon.com, or in a library or book store you should check this book out.
