Book: HERO
Author: Mike Lupica
# of pages: 40
The book i read this week is Hero. It is at first told in the perspective of a dad and later finished by his son because he died. It is a science fiction book. If i was to briefly explain the first part of the book i would mention that it is about a family and the parents were superheroes. The sons name is Zach Harriman. He wishes to be a superhero. His dad was a Knicks fan and also was a Harvard football player, as well as a special adviser for the president of the united states. His name was Tom Herrman. He died in a plane crash now Zach knows nothing more about his father. They wanted Zach's father dead, but now the want Zach alive. It is because Tom was someone special nobody could do what he did. So now they are hopping that Zach is just like him. Zach is turning into a superhero... I chose to read this book because it seemed interesting. My brother had read it before and he really liked it. I was going to read it for the book report project but i decided to read a different book instead. Many people say that it is a great book and that it takes you along with it like you are actually in the book and now i have discovered that for myself. So far this book is great. I mean who wouldn't like to be a superhero as a kid.
