    I would hands down most definitely recomemend this book to not only a friend but simply anyone of youth. I thought this book was genuinely breathtaking, begining with the whole concept of only being able to stay in one body for a day, which I happen to find extremly appealing which pondered amungst my mind for a while. I would not argue tha the book was very scholarly by defotion, but both A and Rhiannon are marvelous mentors. A is well behaed when living the lives of the people he inhabits, he/she tries not to disrupt their relationships too much, he/she resists from doing things that the body wants to do (such as drugs).…

    Before reading this book I had heard it was about a racist trial of an African American and that was the basic summary of it. After reading the book I found that the main part of the story was about the unfair trial because of a racist jury even though all evidence pointed to the white man who was actually responsible for the crime, the were other lessons that could be related to racism or any other type of discrimination. This book was a really good and easy read that had a deep meaning to it and a lesson. I cannot figure out though if the writer wrote this book to be a great story or a good lesson, it actually brings out a good story with a good lesson but because it was so well written, I cannot pin point the focus of either a good story of a good life lesson. I found that there were at least four different lessons that were obvious to me.…
