This summer for my summer reading I read Welding by Don Geary. The genre of this book is is nonfiction book. The purpose of this book is teaching you how to weld and what it is made of and how to cut and weld metals at different angles. I liked the book because I can relate to it because I weld and I can do everything that's in the book. A positive thing about this book was the pictures. It gave me a good visual of how to use it. I think that the book had no negative aspects. I recommend this book to a person who like welding or a mechanic. It met my expectation because it was exactly what I thought it was gonna be. I really enjoyed this book because I go to a vocational high school and this is what I do.
