Grind


 * Have you ever done an intense or extreme skateboarding trick, and it didn’t turn out the way you planed? Read the book __Grind by, Eric Walters__ to find out what Wally and his friends did when they needed some extra cash. Personally, I really admire this book. It really had me on the edge of my seat the whole time I was reading it. The book had a magnificent ending, and it also left me wanting to read other books by this author.

For instance, the story line kept me intrigued in what was going on. Whenever I drive past a Wal-Mart or a big store with marvelous skate spots, I just wished it wasn’t illegal, so I could have a blast without any worries. I’m not sure how the characters didn’t get caught, if only it was that effortless. I’m very thrilled I never broke a bone while I was skating or doing any of my fatal and fascinating stunts. Anyhow I did sprain my ankles’ and wrists’ a couple of times.

In fact, my favorite character was Wally because he always kept his head up and moving forward. Lisa and Phil without a doubt are exceptional local skaters who enjoy what they do. Nevin was the odd one in the bunch. He didn’t skate but he tagged along with his friends. He would video taped and took awesome action shots of his friends. Which I think is pretty cool because I know I like it when my sister tapes and takes exceptional pictures of my friends and I while we are skating.

To sum it all up, I recommend this book to other boys and girls who are involved in skateboarding or just like adventure and to undertake something new. It’s easy to connect to and understand if you have some background knowledge on skating. Eric Walters is an astonishing author and has other great books too.**
