Knockout Games discussion

I liked the fact that this book was based on a true life story.

I liked the part where they hit the neighborhood watch group with water balloons. I found it quite comical. It made you remember the group was kids. It made them seem much more juvenile.

I liked the part where Kalvin showed people the videoing them having sex. I felt the emotions from Erica a lot. It really hit home.

I also liked how the book was very detailed. I like to be able to picture the book in my head so I can fully understand what is happening in the book. What did you guys dislike about the book?

I disliked some of the characters in the book. I felt that some of them were unneeded and almost made me get confused between the characters. I also disliked how sometimes the story felt like it jumped around.

I disliked how it sometimes felt like the author was trying to dumb down his language, that made the book a little more difficult to read in my opinion.

I agree. It was a very easily written book. At some points in the book it was so easy I had to reread what I had previously read to make sure I understood what it was saying.

Who were some of your favorite characters in the book? For me it was the young middle schoolers, they reminded me of myself and friends at that age just trying to impress the older kids and do what they think is cool.

this book was really good but at some points during the book there was some parts that became hard to read but i do like erica herself.
