Theme

What I learned from this book is that you
shouldn’t be afraid to ask someone something.
What I also learned is that you should never
rob anyone because you can get in deep trouble
What I would change

The only thing I would change about this book
is the ending. The ending wasn’t very exciting.
The only idea I have for how the author could
have made the ending more exciting is if she
made the robber shoot his gun. I was very
disappointed that the robber didn’t get to shoot
his gun.
My review of the book

The book ‘’Jacked’’ is a very
entertaining book and in my
opinion the book doesn’t have
many cons. I would give this book
a 4 out of 5.
Favorite Character
My favorite character in this book is Carlyle Dennison.
The reason why is because:

He is brave.

He knows how to plan a robbery ( Which I think is
pretty awesome).

Sometimes he reminds me of myself.

In my opinion he is the most interesting character
in the whole book.

He seems like a nice guy.

He doesn’t freak out, but when he does he doesn’t
go crazy.
