Hero, by S.L. Rottman

Hero, by S.L. Rottman, is about a young boy from the ghetto. Is abused by his mother and never sees his father. Suffers from lack of love and care. When caught for curfew, James is sentenced to community service on a farm. There he learns many important virtues of life. He discovers him to turn his lofe around. He is adopted to a nicer family. Also, takes a bullet for a couple who he helped give birth to. He becomes a better person.

The book "Hero", is an ok book. The book wasn't my favorite but it is better than most of the books I read, but it gives good advice to following life. There is lots of drama and action. Also, there are many situations that are tense. Overall, I say it is ok. A pretty good book to read.
