Fighting Words by A S Acheson is a pretty good book. This book is about a boxer named Myles McReary. Myles has set a match to face the best boxer in Harlem Giancarlo Sperio. With Myles being the toughest boxer at woodrat club this should be a pretty good match. This fight means a lot more then just a win for Myles. Myles is trying to get his family to the states all the way form Ireland. With something keeping his father from coming he will learn there is a whole new problem with something way worst then a boxing fight. I enjoyed this book because it kept you in suspense up to the end of it. I would recommend reading this if you like boxing or just like suspenseful books.
