The Neon Lawyer
I chose the novel The Neon Lawyer by Victor Methos, because of my past reading experiences, and also I have always wanted to be a lawyer. Personally, I read and watch a great deal of crime and mystery genres. Therefore, I am more likely to choose a book about crime and/or mystery, when it comes to choosing a book for Reading Workshop. Actually, this book is apart of a series, therefore I could possibly read the other books for Reading Workshop instead of other books. Also the author has written over 40 books, so, if possible, I’d read all of them. I have always loved reading books that required you to think. This book didn’t require you to think however, it does contain legal terminology. Which is another reason why I loved
