The Gun

The Gun by Paul Langan

I think give this book a grade A, i give it an A because it makes you wait a long time for the climax in the story. I also think teenagers that are juniors and seniors would enjoy the book the most because when the Tyray thinks he's close in getting what he wants another bump comes in the road.

In this story the main character is a boy named Tyray and he's a Freshman at Bluford high school and everyone is scared of Tyray, but this dude name Darrell Mercer that just came to Bluford and changed all of that for Tyray. And now Tyray is being bullied and his rep has been destroyed. So Tyray thinks the only way he can get his rep back is by getting a gun and every time he's  close into getting it something comes up.

A character I like in the story is Tyray, i like him because of his attitude and toughness. He was smart and he told some good lies to that girl that liked him in the story, but Tyray needs to learn how to control his anger and stuff. I'm also glad he changed his ways. A character I dislike is his father, he always has a bad nasty attitude and he needs to learn to keep his hands to himself.

I think the ending of the story was good, but i think i would change it that his brother gets to come home and spend time with Tyray. If the book was to have a sequel i think his brother would come home, and help him out on whatever problems he's having at school and his dad would be kinder to Tyray.
