The Pact

In book groups I am in The Pact. Even though this is non fiction it is extremely good and supper intriguing and I would suggest it to any one who wants to hear and inspiring story. It isn't that long of a book either so it would be a good just regular book. 

This book is about three boys who grow up in the ghetto or Newark, NJ. Through out their childhood they grow accustomed to hearing gunshots and sirens at night and during the day watching people get beaten up. As they grow older two of them start getting and trouble and eventually are arrested for a few weeks. Thats when it hits them that they hated the life they are in and want to escape it. Thats when an opportunity for college comes along and they make a pact to become doctors. 

Extremely good book I think that everyone should read it. On a side note I have also been reading a series called Daniel X which is really good. If you have read Alex Rider (and if you haven't you should it's about a boy who works for Mi6 in Britain) it is sort of like that but with aliens and super powers and stuff. I suggest it for anyone who likes Alex Rider, Percy Jackson and anything else like that.
