I almost forgot that it's 4:00 in the morning as I'm typing this. Anyway, yesterday I finished a book titled Bait. I loved this book even though there were some dull moments. It is a YA book that focuses on as topic that many teens face everyday.

The main character in the book, Diego is dealing with anger issues. REALLY BAD anger issues. He fights a lot and one day his fighting goes to far and he ends up on probation. This story details Diego learning how to let go of his anger and how to forgive with the help of his probation officer.

This book was enjoyable to me because I could relate to Diego. I endured some of the same problems that he did. I even cried while reading this book!

The author used great characterization when writing this book. It was easy for me to feel Diego's pain as the book revealed the situation.

I give this book a 4.5 out of 5. I say a 4.5 because the lesson that Mr. Sanchez was trying to teach with the shark didn't really capture me. I understood it in the beginning so I didn't see a reason for it to keep being repeated. All in all, you should give this book a try if you enjoy books with a purpose.
